Summary
Yamux is a stream multiplexer over reliable, ordered connections such as TCP/IP. From 0.13.0 to before 0.13.9, a specially crafted WindowUpdate can cause arithmetic overflow in send-window accounting, which triggers a panic in the connection state machine. This is remotely reachable over a normal network connection and does not require authentication. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.13.9.
