NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream goreleaser package and not the goreleaser package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

Previously, after a channel has been established, a malicious peer could send crafted messages that would deadlock the entire connection. Now, we handle all RFC 4254 channel messages; global requests are handled explicitly. Then, treat all other messages as a protocol error and tear the connection down instead of buffering and blocking.
