Machine-written summary

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

Netty's io.netty:netty-codec-http package is affected from 4.2.0.Alpha1 before 4.2.8.Final, and from 4.1.129.Final before... (affected range as listed: versions below 4.2.8.Final and below 4.1.129.Final). The HttpRequestEncoder does not sanitize the request URI, so CRLF characters in it can be injected into the request line. An application that passes untrusted input into the URI and uses this encoder can have requests smuggled. Upgrade to netty-codec-http 4.2.8.Final or 4.1.129.Final. The source gives few details on the exact preconditions.
