Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Netty是Netty团队开源的一款非阻塞I/O客户端-服务器框架, 它主要用于开发Java网络应用程序,如协议服务器和客户端等。 Netty 4.1.135.Final之前版本和4.2.15.Final之前版本存在资源管理错误漏洞，该漏洞源于HAProxy PROXY协议v2 codec在解析包含嵌套PP2_TYPE_SSL TLVs的有效标头时导致内存泄漏，每次连接都会泄漏原生或堆内存。

Vulnerability Title
Netty HAProxy: Unbalanced Reference Count in Nested PP2_TYPE_SSL TLV Parsing Leads to Memory Exhaustion
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, the HAProxy PROXY protocol v2 codec in netty leaks native or heap memory on every connection when a client sends a syntactically valid header containing nested `PP2_TYPE_SSL` TLVs (type-length-value records) at depth two or greater. The leak occurs on the successful parse path — no exception is thrown, the message fires downstream, the decoder removes itself, and the application releases the `HAProxyMessage` normally. Yet the underlying cumulation buffer (a pooled, potentially direct `ByteBuf` allocated by the channel) remains permanently pinned. Versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final patch the issue.
