Machine-written summary

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

Netty's netty-codec-http package, versions from 4.2.0.Final before 4.2.16.Final and from 4.1.0.Final before 4.1.136.Final, is affected. A remote client can send SPDY streams that are reset or exceed the content length limit, causing the SpdyHttpDecoder to leak pooled buffers and exhaust native memory. Upgrade to 4.2.16.Final or 4.1.136.Final. The source gives no workaround.
