CVE-2026-33871 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Netty's HTTP/2 handling. In Netty versions prior to 4.1.132.Final and 4.2.10.Final, a remote attacker can send a flood of HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames to a Netty HTTP/2 server and trigger excessive CPU consumption. The flaw is caused by the absence of an effective limit on the number of CONTINUATION frames processed, and existing size-based protections can be bypassed through the use of zero-byte frames. This allows a low-bandwidth attacker to keep the server busy processing frame sequences until it becomes unresponsive.
