[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-8977) Potential DOS Exposure from Netty

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8977?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14365311#comment-14365311 ] 

Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-8977:
---------------------------------------------

I really don't like changing deps in a minor, but I guess for a vulnerability we should consider it (but really if you expose the ports to an attacker, you're an idiot.)  [~enigmacurry] can your team upgrade and test please?

> CVE-2014-3488 : The SslHandler in Netty before 3.9.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted SSLv2Hello message.
> 2.0 currently uses Netty 3.6.6 
> Upgrading to 3.9.2+ will fix this issue, and patch a few other known vulnerabilities that we do not currently expose.
