Machine-written summary

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

The h2 package, versions before 0.4.16, accepts and queues empty DATA frames without any limit. An attacker able to send HTTP/2 traffic to a server using the affected version can cause unbounded memory growth when streams are not actively drained, or a panic if the length overflows. Upgrade h2 to version 0.4.16 or later.
