Summary
Local Information Disclosure Vulnerability in io.netty:netty-codec-http
Details

Description

GHSA-5mcr-gq6c-3hq2 (CVE-2021-21290) contains an insufficient fix for the vulnerability identified.

Impact

When netty's multipart decoders are used local information disclosure can occur via the local system temporary directory if temporary storing uploads on the disk is enabled.

This only impacts applications running on Java version 6 and lower. Additionally, this vulnerability impacts code running on Unix-like systems, and very old versions of Mac OSX and Windows as they all share the system temporary directory between all users.

Vulnerability Details

To fix the vulnerability the code was changed to the following:

    @SuppressJava6Requirement(reason = "Guarded by version check")
    public static File createTempFile(String prefix, String suffix, File directory) throws IOException {
        if (javaVersion() >= 7) {
            if (directory == null) {
                return Files.createTempFile(prefix, suffix).toFile();
            }
            return Files.createTempFile(directory.toPath(), prefix, suffix).toFile();
        }
        if (directory == null) {
            return File.createTempFile(prefix, suffix);
        }
        File file = File.createTempFile(prefix, suffix, directory);
        // Try to adjust the perms, if this fails there is not much else we can do...
        file.setReadable(false, false);
        file.setReadable(true, true);
        return file;
    }

Unfortunately, this logic path was left vulnerable:

        if (directory == null) {
            return File.createTempFile(prefix, suffix);
        }

This file is still readable by all local users.

Patches

Update to 4.1.77.Final

Workarounds

Specify your own java.io.tmpdir when you start the JVM or use DefaultHttpDataFactory.setBaseDir(...) to set the directory to something that is only readable by the current user or update to Java 7 or above.
