Machine-written summary

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

The github.com/jackc/pgproto3/v2 package, versions 2.0.0 through 2.3.3, is affected. The DataRow.Decode function does not properly validate field lengths, so a malicious or compromised PostgreSQL server that sends a DataRow message with a negative field length can cause a slice bounds out of range panic. No fixed version is listed.
