Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Peer-supplied transport parameters can make quinn-proto panic: versions 0.11.0 up to but not including 0.11.18 of the quinn-proto crate are affected when sending ACK_FREQUENCY frames is enabled through the transport configuration. A remote peer that advertises a minimum ACK delay greater than its maximum ACK delay can trigger a panic while the connection is being driven, which crashes the process. Sending ACK_FREQUENCY frames is disabled by default, so only endpoints that opt in are affected. Upgrade quinn-proto to version 0.11.18 or later.
