[CVE-2020-7238] CWE-444: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

Description

Netty 4.1.43.Final allows HTTP Request Smuggling because it mishandles Transfer-Encoding whitespace (such as a [space]Transfer-Encoding:chunked line) and a later Content-Length header. This issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-16869.
