Machine-written summary

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

The netty-codec-mqtt package (io.netty:netty-codec-mqtt) is affected in versions 4.2.0.Alpha1 up to but not including 4.2.13.Final, and in versions before 4.1.133.Final. Because the MQTT 5 Properties section is decoded before the configured maximum message size is checked, a remote client sending a very large Properties section can drive high CPU and memory use. Upgrade to 4.2.13.Final or 4.1.133.Final. The source gives no workaround.
