What is CVE-2026-93494?

A vulnerability exists in Netty's StompSubframeDecoder component, where a remote attacker can exploit the system by sending a specially crafted STOMP frame body that lacks its terminating null byte. This results in the decoder allocating a ByteBuf that remains unreleased, causing a persistent memory leak. As time progresses, this unregulated consumption of memory can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) for any applications utilizing the affected STOMP codec, thereby impacting system availability.
