HTTP/2: flood using PING frames results in unbounded memory growth - CVE-2019-9512ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:58203 | Date: (C)2019-10-10 (M)2024-05-22 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends continual pings to an HTTP/2 peer, causing the peer to build an internal queue of responses. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both.
