Important security patch released for netty in Fedora 22 tackling HttpOnly cookie vulnerability. Ensure you upgrade immediately!
Security fix for CVE-2015-2156

Summary

Netty is a NIO client server framework which enables quick and easy

development of network applications such as protocol servers and

clients. It greatly simplifies and streamlines network programming

such as TCP and UDP socket server.

'Quick and easy' doesn't mean that a resulting application will suffer

from a maintainability or a performance issue. Netty has been designed

carefully with the experiences earned from the implementation of a lot

of protocols such as FTP, SMTP, HTTP, and various binary and

text-based legacy protocols. As a result, Netty has succeeded to find

a way to achieve ease of development, performance, stability, and

flexibility without a compromise.
