Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Netty's io.netty:netty-codec-stomp is affected in versions from 4.2.0.Final before 4.2.16.Final and from 4.1.x before 4.1.136.Final. The STOMP encoder does not escape or validate newline characters in header values of CONNECT and CONNECTED frames, so an attacker who can place input into those headers can inject additional headers. Upgrade to 4.2.16.Final or 4.1.136.Final; the source gives no workaround beyond removing newline characters from untrusted header values.
