Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Numeric Truncation Error in the chunk size parsing process when handling HTTP requests with Transfer-Encoding set to chunked. An attacker can cause HTTP request or response smuggling by sending a chunk size value that parses to 2^64 or larger, which is then truncated to a 64-bit integer.
