Lz4FrameDecoder in netty-codec prior to 4.1.133.Final allocates up to 32 MB per block before decompression runs. A peer can trigger this with a 21-byte crafted LZ4 header, causing memory exhaustion (DoS). Bump netty.version from 4.1.127.Final to 4.1.133.Final so all consumers of java-driver-core inherit the fix transitively, without needing local dependencyManagement overrides. Ref: scylladb/kafka-connect-scylladb#164 CVE: CVE-2026-42583 CVSS: 7.5 (HIGH)
