Compatibility Notes

A number of security fixes have added additional validation and impose new resource usage limits, which may cause existing workloads to fail or be rejected. We recommend that you test your systems thoroughly as part of your Netty upgrade.

Two specific changes are worth calling out:

QUIC now explicitly requires X509ExtendedTrustManager when hostname verification is enabled. Previously, when configuring QUIC with an endpoint identification algorithm and an X509TrustManager, hostname verification would be silently skipped. This is now considered a misconfiguration and an exception will be thrown.

HTTP/2 header value validation is now enabled by default. HTTP/2 header name validation has always been enabled by default, with an option to disable it, but HTTP/2 header value validation has been disabled by default until now. Configuration options still exist to disable this, but validation of HTTP header names and values are now both opt-in by default rather than opt-out.

What's Changed

• Use X509ExtendedTrustManager in SSLErrorTest by @​normanmaurer in netty/netty#17221
• Update setup-testlens to v1.9.4 by @​marcphilipp in netty/netty#17223
