Netty has an IPv6 Subnet Filter Bypass via Incorrect Comparator Masking

Details

### Summary An attacker can bypass IPv6 subnet rules due to an incorrect masking operation in IpSubnetFilterRule.compareTo(). Valid public IP addresses can bypass the restrictions.

### Details `io.netty.handler.ipfilter.IpSubnetFilterRule#compareTo(java.net.InetSocketAddress)` method performs a bitwise AND between the incoming IP address and the configured networkAddress, instead of the subnetMask.

### Impact Access Control Bypass. Attacker can bypass IpSubnetFilter IPv6 access controls.
