Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The mcp Python SDK, versions before 1.10.0, is vulnerable to a denial of service in its streamable HTTP transport. A client that deliberately triggers an exception after establishing a streamable HTTP session can cause an uncaught error that crashes the server, which then needs a restart to restore service. Upgrade mcp to version 1.10.0 or later; the source gives few details on deployment-specific impact.
