UBUNTU-CVE-2026-56820 (CVE-2026-56820)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2026-07-21 23:17 – Updated: 2026-09-10 14:29 – Source website

Details

Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. In versions 4.2.0.Final through 4.2.15.Final and prior to 4.1.135.Final, OcspClient does not validate that the CertificateID in an OCSP response matches the requested CertificateID, which can lead to replay attack. OcspClient.validateResponse accepts a legitimately signed GOOD status response for an unrelated certificate issued by the same CA, allowing bypass of revocation checks for another certificate. This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.136.Final and 4.2.16.Final.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
