ClientRead on ROLLABACK

I have a question regarding postgresql waiting for the client. I queried
the pg_stat_activity because I noticed a connection that had not been
released for days!!! I saw that the wait_event was ClientRead and the query
was ROLLBACK. What the server is waiting for from the client? It is a
simple ROLLBACK. I'd expect postgresql to abort the transaction, that's it!
This was the client thread stack trace:

So I ended up in a situation where both client and server were reading from
the socket :(. I'm not sure why. Something went wrong between client and
server, network problems? The connection was held for 5 days until it was
manually terminated. But why the server was waiting in the first place?
