FKIE_CVE-2026-41207
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-06-04 18:16 - Updated: 2026-07-22 20:10
Severity
Summary
The netty incubator codec.bhttp is a java language binary http parser. Prior to version 0.0.21.Final, HKDF_expand returns non-NULL on failure. The byte[] is filled with zeros and has no way to distinguish success from failure. Since this output is used as HKDF key material for the response AEAD, a failure silently produces an all-zero key. When EVP_HPKE_CTX_export fails it also returns an empty byte[] array filled with zeros. This byte[] feeds directly into OHttpCrypto.createResponseAEAD(...). A silent all-zero export secret would produce a deterministic, attacker-predictable AEAD key. Version 0.0.21.Final patches the issue.

"value": "El netty incubator codec.bhttp es un analizador HTTP binario del lenguaje Java. Antes de la versi\u00f3n 0.0.21.Final, HKDF_expand devuelve un valor no nulo en caso de fallo. El byte[] se rellena con ceros y no tiene forma de distinguir el \u00e9xito del fallo. Dado que esta salida se utiliza como material de clave HKDF para el AEAD de respuesta, un fallo produce silenciosamente una clave de solo ceros. Cuando EVP_HPKE_CTX_export falla, tambi\u00e9n devuelve un array byte[] vac\u00edo relleno con ceros. Este byte[] se introduce directamente en OHttpCrypto.createResponseAEAD(...). Un secreto de exportaci\u00f3n silencioso de solo ceros producir\u00eda una clave AEAD determinista y predecible por el atacante. La versi\u00f3n 0.0.21.Final soluciona el problema."
