Motivation:
File.createTempFile(String, String)` will create a temporary file in the system temporary directory if the 'java.io.tmpdir'. The permissions on that file utilize the umask. In a majority of cases, this means that the file that java creates has the permissions: `-rw-r--r--`, thus, any other local user on that system can read the contents of that file.
This can be a security concern if any sensitive data is stored in this file.
This was reported by Jonathan Leitschuh <jonathan.leitschuh@gmail.com> as a security problem.
Modifications:
Use Files.createTempFile(...) which will use safe-defaults when running on java 7 and later. If running on java 6 there isnt much we can do, which is fair enough as java 6 shouldnt be considered "safe" anyway.
Result:
Create temporary files with sane permissions by default.
Motivation:
The changes introduced in 1c230405fd did cause various issues while the fix itself is not considered critical. For now it is considered the best to just rollback and investigate more.
Modifications:
- Revert changes done in 1c230405fd (and later) for
the post decoders.
- Ensure we give memory back to the system as soon as possible in a safe manner
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10973
Motivation:
We currently append extensions to the user defined "sec-websocket-extensions" headers. This can cause duplicated entries.
Modifications:
* Replace existing `WebSocketExtensionUtil#appendExtension` private helper with a new `computeMergeExtensionsHeaderValue`. User defined parameters have higher precedence.
* Add tests (existing method wasn't tested)
* Reuse code for both client and server side (code was duplicated).
Result:
No more duplicated entries when user defined extensions overlap with the ones Netty generated.
Motivation:
We currently append extensions to the user defined "sec-websocket-extensions" headers. This can cause duplicated entries.
Modifications:

* Reuse code for both client and server side (code was duplicated).
Result:
No more duplicated entries when user defined extensions overlap with the ones Netty generated.
Motivation:
switch is used when we have a good amount of cases because switch is faster than if-else. However, we're using only 1 case in switch which can affect performance.
Modification:
Changed switch to if.
Result:
Good code.
Motivation:
To fix the infinite loop parsing a multipart body.
Modifications:
Modified the loop to use the correct variable.
Result:
Multipart bodies will be parsed correctly again.
Motivation:
According to specification 1006 status code must not be set as a status code in a
Close control frame by the endpoint. However 1006 status code can be
used in applications to indicate that the connection was closed abnormally.
Modifications:
- Enforce status code validation in CloseWebSocketFrame
- Add WebSocketCloseStatus construction with disabled validation
- Add test
Result:
Fixes#10838
Motivation:
We should add `state` in the exception message of `HttpObjectEncoder` because it makes debugging a little easier.
Modification:
Added `state` in the exception message.
Result:
Better exception message for smooth debugging.
Motivation:
According rfc (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-11.3.4), `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol` header field MUST NOT appear
more than once in an HTTP response.
At the moment we can pass `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol` via custom headers and it will be added to response.
Modification:
Change method add() to set() for avoid duplication. If we pass sub protocols in handshaker constructor it means that they are preferred over custom ones.
Result:
Less error prone behavior.
Fix issue #10508 where PARANOID mode slow down about 1000 times compared to ADVANCED.
Also fix a rare issue when internal buffer was growing over a limit, it was partially discarded
using `discardReadBytes()` which causes bad changes within previously discovered HttpData.
Reasons were:
Too many `readByte()` method calls while other ways exist (such as keep in memory the last scan position when trying to find a delimiter or using `bytesBefore(firstByte)` instead of looping externally).
Changes done:
- major change on way buffer are parsed: instead of read byte per byte until found delimiter, try to find the delimiter using `bytesBefore()` and keep the last unfound position to skeep already parsed parts (algorithms are the same but implementation of scan are different)
- Change the condition to discard read bytes when refCnt is at most 1.
Observations using Async-Profiler:
==================================
1) Without optimizations, most of the time (more than 95%) is through `readByte()` method within `loadDataMultipartStandard` method.
2) With using `bytesBefore(byte)` instead of `readByte()` to find various delimiter, the `loadDataMultipartStandard` method is going down to 19 to 33% depending on the test used. the `readByte()` method or equivalent `getByte(pos)` method are going down to 15% (from 95%).
Times are confirming those profiling:
- With optimizations, in SIMPLE mode about 82% better, in ADVANCED mode about 79% better and in PARANOID mode about 99% better (most of the duplicate read accesses are removed or make internally through `bytesBefore(byte)` method)
A benchmark is added to show the behavior of the various cases (one big item, such as File upload, and many items) and various level of detection (Disabled, Simple, Advanced, Paranoid). This benchmark is intend to alert if new implementations make too many differences (such as the previous version where about PARANOID gives about 1000 times slower than other levels, while it is now about at most 10 times).

Modifications:
Use http for xmlns
Result:
Be able to use maven release plugin
Motivation:
HttpServerUpgradeHandler takes a list of protocols from an incoming
request and uses them for building a response.
Although the class does some validation while parsing the list,
it then disables HTTP header validation when it builds a responst.
The disabled validation may potentially allow
HTTP response splitting attacks.
Modifications:
- Enabled HTTP header validation in HttpServerUpgradeHandler
as a defense-in-depth measure to prevent possible
HTTP response splitting attacks.
- Added a new constructor that allows disabling the validation.
Result:
HttpServerUpgradeHandler validates incoming protocols
before including them into a response.
That should prevent possible HTTP response splitting attacks.
Motivation:
At the moment we have only one base `WebSocketHandshakeException` for handling WebSocket upgrade issues.
Unfortunately, this message contains only a string message about the cause of the failure, which is inconvenient in handling.
Modification:
Provide new `WebSocketClientHandshakeException` with `HttpResponse` field and `WebSocketServerHandshakeException` with `HttpRequest` field both of them without content for avoid reference counting
problems.
Result:
More information for more flexible handling.
Fixes#10277#4528#10639.
Motivation:
HTTP is a plaintext protocol which means that someone may be able
to eavesdrop the data. To prevent this, HTTPS should be used whenever
possible. However, maintaining using https:// in all URLs may be
difficult. The nohttp tool can help here. The tool scans all the files
in a repository and reports where http:// is used.
Modifications:
- Added nohttp (via checkstyle) into the build process.
- Suppressed findings for the websites
that don't support HTTPS or that are not reachable
Result:
- Prevent using HTTP in the future.
- Encourage users to use HTTPS when they follow the links they found in
the code.
Motivation:
I noticed WebSocketServerExtensionHandler taking up a non-trivial
amount of CPU time for a non-websocket based menchmark. This attempts
to speed it up.
Modifications:
- It is faster to check for a 101 response than to look at headers,
so an initial response code check is done
- Move all the actual upgrade code into its own method to increase
chance of this method being inlined
- Add an extra contains() check for the upgrade header, to avoid
allocating an iterator if there is no upgrade header
Result:
A small but noticable performance increase.

junit deprecated Assert.assertThat(...)
Modifications:
Use MatcherAssert.assertThat(...) as replacement for deprecated method
Result:
Less deprecation warnings
Motivation:
LGTM reports multiple issues. They need to be triaged,
and real ones should be fixed.
Modifications:
- Fixed multiple issues reported by LGTM, such as redundant conditions,
resource leaks, typos, possible integer overflows.
- Suppressed false-positives.
- Added a few testcases.
Result:
Fixed several possible issues, get rid of false alarms in the LGTM report.
Motivation:
We have a few classes in which we store and reuse static instances of various exceptions. When doing so it is important to also override fillInStacktrace() and so prevent the leak of the ClassLoader in the internal backtrace field.
Modifications:
- Add overrides of fillInStracktrace when needed
- Move ThrowableUtil usage in the static methods
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/10686
Motivation:
Fix Broken Link of OWASP HttpOnly Cookie in Cookie class.
Modification:
Updated the broken link.
Result:
Broken Link Fix for better Documentation.
Motivation:
We should use ObjectUtil for checking if Compression parameters are in range. This will reduce LOC and make code more readable.
Modification:
Used ObjectUtil
Result:
More readable code
Motivation:
Avoid implicit conversions to narrower types in
AbstractMemoryHttpData and Bzip2HuffmanStageEncoder classes
reported by LGTM.
Modifications:
Updated the classes to avoid implicit casting to narrower types.
It doesn't look like that an integer overflow is possible there,
therefore no checks for overflows were added.
Result:
No warnings about implicit conversions to narrower types.
Motivation:
LGTM reported that WebSocketUtil uses MD5 and SHA-1
that are considered weak. Although those algorithms
are insecure, they are required by draft-ietf-hybi-thewebsocketprotocol-00
specification that is implemented in the corresponding WebSocket
handshakers. Once the handshakers are removed, WebSocketUtil can be
updated to stop using those weak hash functions.
Modifications:
Added SuppressWarnings annotations.
Result:
Suppressed warnings.
Add validation check about websocket path
Motivation:
I add websocket handler in custom server with netty.
I first add WebSocketServerProtocolHandler in my channel pipeline.
It does work! but I found that it can pass "/websocketabc". (websocketPath is "/websocket")
Modification:
`isWebSocketPath()` method of `WebSocketServerProtocolHandshakeHandler` now checks that "startsWith" applies to the first URL path component, rather than the URL as a string.
Result:
Requests to "/websocketabc" are no longer passed to handlers for requests that starts-with "/websocket".
Motivation:
Consider a scenario when the client iniitiates a WebSocket handshake but before the handshake is complete,
the channel is closed due to some reason. In such scenario, the handshake timeout scheduled on the executor
is not cleared. The reason it is not cleared is because in such cases the handshakePromise is not completed.
Modifications:
This change completes the handshakePromise exceptinoally on channelInactive callback, if it has not been
completed so far. This triggers the callback on completion of the promise which clears the timeout scheduled
on the executor.
This PR also adds a test case which reproduces the scenario described above. The test case fails before the
fix is added and succeeds when the fix is applied.
Result:
After this change, the timeout scheduled on the executor will be cleared, thus freeing up thread resources.
Motivation:
If DeleteOnExitHook is in the open state and the program runs for a long time, the DeleteOnExitHook file keeps increasing.
This results in a memory leak
Modification:
I re-customized a DeleteOnExitHook hook. If DeleteOnExitHook is turned on, this hook will be added when creating a temporary file. After the request ends and the corresponding resources are released, the current file will be removed from this hook, so that it will not increase all the time.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10351
Motivation
ByteBuf has an isAccessible method which was introduced as part of ref
counting optimizations but there are some places still doing
accessibility checks by accessing the volatile refCnt() directly.
Modifications
- Have PooledNonRetained(Duplicate|Sliced)ByteBuf#isAccessible() use
their refcount delegate's isAccessible() method
- Add static isAccessible(buf) and ensureAccessible(buf) methods to
ByteBufUtil
(since ByteBuf#isAccessible() is package-private)
- Adjust DefaultByteBufHolder and similar classes to use these methods
rather than access refCnt() directly
Result
- More efficient accessibility checks in more places
Motivation:
This is small fixes for #10453 PR according @njhill and @normanmaurer conversation.
Modification:
Simple refactor and takes into account remainder when calculate size.
Result:
Behavior is correct
Motivation:
AbstractDiskHttpData#getChunk opens and closes fileChannel every time when it is invoked,
as a result the uploaded file is corrupted. This is a regression caused by #10270.
Modifications:
- Close the fileChannel only if everything was read or an exception is thrown
- Add unit test
Result:
AbstractDiskHttpData#getChunk closes fileChannel only if everything was read or an exception is thrown
