    "title": "Double free in `DCtx::try_clone`",
    "summary": "`DCtx::try_clone` (`experimental` feature, deprecated) is a plain copy of the C context. A context owning a dictionary (from `load_dictionary`, `ref_prefix` or `init_using_dict`) or a dictionary table (`ref_ddict` with `RefMultipleDDicts`) ended up with both copies freeing it. A context cloned mid-frame resumed on uninitialized stream state. The clone also silently lost the `WindowLogMax` limit. The flaw was corrected by refusing to clone such contexts, and by carrying over the parameters the copy leaves out.",
