Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Infinite loop through the readFieldSection process. An attacker can cause the application to enter an infinite loop and exhaust CPU resources by sending a specially crafted Binary HTTP message with a manipulated field-section length, resulting in permanent occupation of event-loop threads and denial of service.
