Descriptions

By specially crafting HTTP/2 requests, workers would be allocated 60 seconds longer than necessary, leading to worker exhaustion and a denial of service. Fixed in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.34 (Affected 2.4.18-2.4.30,2.4.33).

Al manipular especialmente las peticiones HTTP/2, los trabajadores se asignarían 60 segundos más de los necesarios, lo que conduce a un agotamiento de los trabajadores y a una denegación de servicio (DoS). Esto se ha solucionado en Apache HTTP Server 2.4.34 (2.4.18 - 2.4.30, 2.4.33 afectadas).
