CVE-2026-75595: Netty: SNI Routing Bypass via Fragmented TLS ClientHello Causing Fallback to Default SslContext
A fragmented TLS ClientHello whose handshake header spans multiple records makes Netty silently fall back to the default SslContext; where per-SNI selection is the sole mTLS gate, an unauthenticated attacker can bypass the route’s mTLS requirement.
