Description:
* SECURITY UPDATE: HTTP/2 session left alive after an internal GOAWAY
- debian/patches/CVE-2026-48937.patch: when nghttp2 hits a low-level
protocol error it calls nghttp2_session_terminate_session() itself, which
queues a GOAWAY and returns success from nghttp2_session_mem_recv()
without invoking any application-level callback. Node therefore never
learned the session had died: no 'error', no 'close', and the
Http2Session kept its streams, buffers and handle alive on a dead socket,
which an unauthenticated peer could repeat to exhaust memory and handles.
Http2Session::OnFrameSent() now flags a GOAWAY that we did not initiate
ourselves and SendPendingData() raises NGHTTP2_ERR_PROTO to JavaScript
once the GOAWAY has been written (backport of nodejs/node@a8a0d128;
the !IsGracefulCloseInitiated() term is dropped because Node 14 has no
graceful_close_initiated_ flag -- session.close() reaches the native
layer through Http2Session::Goaway(), covered by the new
goaway_initiated_ flag, and Http2Session::Close() sets the closing flag
before terminating the session). Only the new regression test is taken
from upstream: the flow-control test changes there track nghttp2 v1.67.0+
behaviour, while this release bundles 1.42.0, where a stream-level flow
control violation still yields RST_STREAM
