GHSA-xh99-hw7h-wf63

Patches

Workarounds
Using a plugin, cancel DataPacketReceiveEvent if the packet is PlayerActionPacket and the facing is outside the range 0-5 when receiving START_BREAK or CRACK_BLOCK actions, or UseItemTransactionData. However, beware that negative values may be legitimate in some cases.
