Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Reachable Assertion due to missing internal state validation after the nghttp2_session_terminate_session or nghttp2_session_terminate_session2 APIs are called. An attacker can cause the application to terminate unexpectedly by sending a malformed frame that triggers an assertion failure.
