Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free in HTTP/2 stream teardown, where the response buffer is freed but a reference to it is still used when the stream is torn down during a backpressured write. An attacker can read freed or unrelated heap memory, including other connections' response buffers, by resetting a stream with RST_STREAM while a write to it is pending, so that the memory is written to the socket in place of the intended response. On versions from 24.22.0 and 26.9.0 a peer can trigger the teardown remotely, and on all affected lines it also requires a server-side teardown, such as a per-stream idle timeout.
