A reth message that decodes cleanly never trips the misbehaviour counter, and that was the problem
Before reth PR #23718, eth-wire Transactions and PooledTransactions decoded into an unbounded Vec before any validation, so a well-formed 10 MB message could allocate 436 MB during decode without ever incrementing the peer-misbehaviour counter that only reacts to decode errors.
