Machine-written summary

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

HTTP/2 servers in the Go standard library (versions before 1.26.9, and 1.27.0 up to but not including 1.27.2) and in golang.org/x/net (versions before 0.60.0) can crash. The HPACK encoder is modified from two goroutines without synchronization when a client changes the header table size while a response is being encoded. A remote client can exploit this by repeatedly sending requests while changing the header table size, causing the server to crash. Upgrade the Go standard library to 1.26.9 or 1.27.2, and golang.org/x/net to 0.60.0.
