Machine-written summary

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

The resteasy-netty4 library (Maven package org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-netty4-cdi, all versions) mishandles HTTP requests that use smuggling techniques containing an ASCII control character. A remote attacker able to send such requests can put the Netty decoder into a bad-message state, so later legitimate requests on the same connection are ignored and clients time out. The source gives few details on exact conditions. No fix is listed.
