Description

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to resource loops, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a way that causes substantial churn to the priority tree. This can consume excess CPU.

Solution(s)

  • ibm-was-install-8-5-ph16611-liberty
  • ibm-was-upgrade-8-5-19-0-0-10-liberty
