Machine-written summary

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

Versions of io.netty.incubator:netty-incubator-codec-ohttp before 0.0.21.Final have HPKEContext operations that can return an all-zero byte array when an internal key derivation or export step fails, with no error signalled to the caller. Because that output is used as key material for the response AEAD, the resulting key could be predictable to an attacker. Upgrade to 0.0.21.Final or later. No workaround is listed.
