Machine-written summary

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

Netty's netty-codec-http package, versions 4.1.83.Final through before 4.1.86.Final, does not validate header values passed to DefaultHttpHeaders.set as an iterator of values. An attacker who can supply those header values can perform HTTP response splitting. Upgrade to netty-codec-http 4.1.86.Final or later. As a workaround, replace set calls that take an iterator with a remove call followed by add calls in a loop over the values.
