Describe the bug

Netty’s BrotliDecoder is vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) through highly compressed data (zip bomb–style) leading to data amplification. This affects multiple components (netty-codec, netty-codec-http, and netty-codec-http2).

A flaw in the handling of Brotli-compressed data may allow an attacker to trigger excessive memory or CPU consumption when decompressing malicious payloads. This can result in application-level denial of service. Both Trivy and Snyk flagged this issue across different Netty codecs, but they all map to the same CVE.
