Machine-written summary

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

The blurhash crate versions before 0.2.0 can panic when parsing crafted blurhash strings, including strings containing multi-byte UTF-8 characters. An attacker who can supply blurhash input over the network can trigger the panic, which causes a denial of service. Upgrade blurhash to version 0.2.0 or later; this release may require code changes due to API changes.
