OHttpVersionChunkDraft: Missing Final-Chunk Enforcement Leads to Undetected Stream Truncation

Moderate

Package

maven io.netty.incubator:netty-incubator-codec-ohttp (Maven)

Affected versions

< 0.0.22.Final

Patched versions

0.0.22.Final

Description

The codec-ohttp implementation of draft-ietf-ohai-chunked-ohttp does not verify that a cryptographically-signed final chunk was received before the outer HTTP body terminates. An on-path adversary (the OHTTP relay itself, or any MITM on the relay↔gateway or relay↔client transport) can forward a prefix of a legitimate chunked-OHTTP message—cut at a non-final chunk boundary—and close the outer body cleanly, producing no decryption error and no exception in the receiving application.

Moderate
