CVE-2026-62380 Aug 22, 12:26 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Null byte and CRLF injection in Netty's SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 client encoders (Socks4ClientEncoder, Socks5ClientEncoder) allows an attacker who controls domain address or authentication fields to truncate or alter proxy connection parameters, enabling domain spoofing, userid truncation, authentication data injection, and protocol confusion. Affected are all Netty releases in the 4.1.x branch through 4.1.136.Final and the 4.2.x branch through 4.2.16.Final - both branches have been patched. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and this CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, but the integrity impact on downstream SOCKS proxy routing is concrete.

CVE-2026-42010 May 07, 12:16 CRITICAL PATCH Act Now

Authentication bypass in GnuTLS affects servers that enable the RSA-PSK key exchange, where the PSK identity comparison treats a username containing an embedded NUL byte as equal to a legitimate truncated username. Remote attackers can send a crafted username to circumvent pre-shared-key authentication and gain unauthorized access. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the EPSS probability is low (0.15%), and CISA SSVC scores exploitation as none - indicating high theoretical severity but no observed real-world abuse.

CVE-2019-11936 Dec 04, 17:16 CRITICAL PATCH Act Now

Various APC functions accept keys containing null bytes as input, leading to premature truncation of input.30.12, all versions between 4.0.0 and 4.8.5, all versions between 4.9.0 and 4.23.1, as well. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity.
