How a single crafted gossipsub PRUNE backoff value panics rust-libp2p nodes via an Instant overflow (CVE-2026-34219)

rust-libp2p's gossipsub implementation stores a peer-supplied PRUNE backoff duration and later adds a further duration to it during heartbeat processing using unchecked arithmetic; a single crafted PRUNE with a backoff value near u64::MAX overflows that addition and panics the process.
