CVE-2025-55163 is the Netty-specific MadeYouReset HTTP/2 denial-of-service vulnerability. Netty versions before 4.1.124.Final in the 4.1 branch and 4.2.4.Final in the 4.2 branch improperly handle malformed HTTP/2 control frames, allowing attackers to bypass maximum concurrent-stream limits. This protocol-handling flaw permits excessive concurrent processing on a single HTTP/2 connection, resulting in resource exhaustion and denial of service.
