Machine-written summary

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

Netty's io.netty:netty-codec-classes-quic versions 4.2.0.Final through 4.2.14.Final are affected when using the default HMAC-based connection ID and stateless reset token generators. An on-path attacker who can observe QUIC headers can derive the stateless reset token for the server's current connection ID and send a spoofed Stateless Reset packet to force the client side of the connection closed, causing denial of service. Upgrade to 4.2.15.Final.
