Machine-written summary

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

Netty QUIC codec (io.netty.incubator:netty-incubator-codec-quic) versions before 0.0.71.Final are affected by a hash collision flaw in the hash map used to track connections. A remote attacker can open connections with colliding Source Connection IDs, causing considerable CPU load on the server (a hash-flooding denial of service). Upgrade to 0.0.71.Final or later. The source gives few details on workarounds.
