Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Resource Shutdown or Release via the CloseWithError function. An attacker can cause the process to hang indefinitely by withholding QUIC flow control credit on the CONNECT stream, which prevents the transmission of the WT_CLOSE_SESSION capsule and blocks session closure.
