Vulnerability CVE-2019-9511
Published: 2019-08-13

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.

Type:

CWE-400

 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption ('Resource Exhaustion'))
