Machine-written summary

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

Netty's netty-codec-http package, versions 4.2.0.Alpha1 up to but not including 4.2.13.Final and 4.1 versions before 4.1.133.Final, is affected. When HttpClientCodec is used with HTTP/1.1 pipelining and a HEAD request in the pipeline, a server sending a 1xx informational response can cause a response body to be parsed as the response to a different request, desynchronizing the connection. The source gives few details on the attacker's position or exact impact beyond integrity and availability of HTTP parsing on the connection. Upgrade to 4.2.13.Final or 4.1.133.Final.
