Machine-written summary

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

Versions of httpsoft/http-message before 1.0.12 do not properly validate HTTP header names and values, allowing newline characters to be inserted into them. The source describes this as potentially letting an attacker end the header list early in servers that accept a bare double newline as a terminator, though it gives few details about the exact conditions or impact. Upgrade httpsoft/http-message to version 1.0.12 or later; no workarounds are listed.
