Vulnerability CVE-2019-9518
Published: 2019-08-13

Description:
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a flood of empty frames, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends a stream of frames with an empty payload and without the end-of-stream flag. These frames can be DATA, HEADERS, CONTINUATION and/or PUSH_PROMISE. The peer spends time processing each frame disproportionate to attack bandwidth. This can consume excess CPU.

Type:

CWE-400

 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption ('Resource Exhaustion'))
