+####################
+Unit 1.34.2 Released
+####################
+
+We are pleased to announce the release of NGINX Unit 1.34.2. This is a
+maintenance release that fixes a couple of issues in the Java WebSocket
+code within the Java language module.
+
+- Security: When the NGINX Unit Java Language module is in use, undisclosed
+  requests can lead to an infinite loop and cause an increase in CPU resource
+  utilization (CVE-2025-1695).
+
+  `F5 SIRT <https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000149959>`__.
+
+- It addresses an issue whereby decoded payload lengths would be limited
+  to 32 bits.
+
+Both these issues affect Unit versions from 1.11.0 to 1.34.1. If you use
+the Java language module with WebSockets it is strongly suggested to
+upgrade.
