APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• CVEID: CVE-2022-41881
  Description: Netty project is an event-driven asynchronous
  network application framework. In versions prior to
  4.1.86.Final, a StackOverflowError can be raised when parsing a
  malformed crafted message due to an infinite recursion. This
  issue is patched in version 4.1.86.Final. There is no
  workaround, except using a custom HaProxyMessageDecoder.
  
  
  CVEID: CVE-2022-41915
  Description: Netty project is an event-driven asynchronous
  network application framework. In versions prior to
  4.1.86.Final, when calling `DefaultHttpHeadesr.set` with an
  _iterator_ of values, header value validation was not performed,
  allowing malicious header values in the iterator to perform HTTP
  Response Splitting. This issue has been patched in version
  4.1.86.Final. Integrators can work around the issue by changing
  the `DefaultHttpHeaders.set(CharSequence, Iterator<?>)` call,
  into a `remove()` call, and call `add()` in a loop over the
  iterator of values.
