Description

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to window size manipulation and stream prioritization manipulation, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker requests a large amount of data from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority to force the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both. A flaw was found in HTTP/2. An attacker can request a large amount of data by manipulating window size and stream priority to force the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this queue can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, leading to a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
