Memcache binary codec signed/unsigned type mismatch causes frame desynchronization and response smuggling

AnalysisAI

A signed/unsigned type mismatch in Netty's Memcache binary protocol codec desynchronizes frame boundaries, allowing an unauthenticated, network-positioned attacker to smuggle responses across a shared or proxied memcache connection (CVSS 3.1 base 6.5, Medium). The flaw is reachable only when the Memcache binary codec is explicitly wired into a network-exposed Netty pipeline - a non-default configuration - and the affected code ships inside Red Hat Fuse 7, JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7, Single Sign-On 7, and the Red Hat Build of Apache Camel for Spring Boot 4. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the target Java application to use Netty's Memcache binary protocol codec to decode traffic that an attacker can influence, and a topology where response smuggling is meaningful (e.g., a shared/proxied or multiplexed connection carrying multiple clients' memcache traffic). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N (base 6.5, Medium) describes an unauthenticated, network-reachable, low-complexity flaw in Netty's Memcache binary codec where a signed/unsigned type mismatch desynchronizes frame boundaries, enabling response smuggling with limited confidentiality and integrity impact (C:L/I:L) and no availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Patch status is not confirmed from the available data; there is no exact fixed Netty or Red Hat product version in the supplied references, so operators should monitor https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-93561 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2536949 for the vendor-issued errata and upgrade to the corrected Netty build (or the Red Hat product update that ships it) as soon as it is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
