The `RtspMethods.valueOf()` function incorrectly strips trailing control bytes from method tokens in Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) requests. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted RTSP request, leading to method-token smuggling. This vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass method-based access controls and can also be used to launder malicious requests through Netty-based RTSP proxies, making them appear legitimate to backend systems.</p> <p>A flaw was found in Netty RtspDecoder.

A wire-delivered RTSP request whose method token ends with a trailing control byte — for example `PLAY\x00` or `PLAY\r`, immediately before the separating space — is decoded by `RtspDecoder` as a fully successful PLAY request, with `decoderResult().isSuccess() == true and request.method() == RtspMethods.PLAY` (same object reference as the cached singleton). The application layer cannot distinguish this from a clean `PLAY` request.</p> <p>This is the same root cause as #16723 and #16971, in a sibling that those fixes did not reach. The fix for `HttpMethod` hardened `HttpMethod.valueOf()` directly, but `RtspMethods.valueOf()` has its own independent `checkNonEmptyAfterTrim()` call that runs before the cache lookup — meaning a trailing-control-byte token hits the cache before the hardened `HttpMethod` constructor ever sees it.</p> <p>### Reproduction</p> <p>Minimal wire-level reproduction</p> <p>Send the following raw bytes to any Netty-based RTSP server using R</p> <p>### Summary `RtspMethods.valueOf()` silently strips trailing control bytes (any character with code point &lt;= 0x20, the full range that `String.trim()` removes) before performing a cache lookup against its ten pre-populated method constants.
