Machine-written summary

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

AnyIO versions before 4.14.2 are affected. Process-pool workers do not redirect stderr, so worker code that writes enough data to stderr can fill the pipe and block the awaiting process-pool call indefinitely. The source gives few details on who can trigger this beyond running untrusted or faulty code. Upgrade to anyio 4.14.2, which contains the fix.
