RTSP Method Handling Vulnerability in Netty Framework by Red Hat
CVE-2026-93565

7.5HIGH

What is CVE-2026-93565?

An issue exists in the Netty Framework where the RtspMethods.valueOf() method inadvertently strips trailing control bytes from RTSP requests, allowing potentially misleading method processing. Specifically, when an RTSP request contains a method token with trailing control bytes, it is still recognized as a valid method, leading to successful processing of requests that might not align with the intended command. This subtle flaw enables an attacker to exploit the method processing system, bypassing checks that would typically ensure the integrity and authenticity of the request being handled.
