Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference in HTTP/2 file serving, where cancelling a request tears down the StreamPipe used for the transfer in an order that leaves a NULL pointer that is then dereferenced. An attacker can crash the server process by requesting a file and cancelling the request, and a handful of cancelled requests is enough. Only servers that serve files with stream.respondWithFile() or stream.respondWithFD() are affected.
