Descriptions

The HTTP/2 implementation in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.14 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.37 accepted streams with excessive numbers of SETTINGS frames and also permitted clients to keep streams open without reading/writing request/response data. By keeping streams open for requests that utilised the Servlet API's blocking I/O, clients were able to cause server-side threads to block eventually leading to thread exhaustion and a DoS.

La implementación HTTP/2 en Apache Tomcat desde 9.0.0.M1 hasta 9.0.14 y desde 8.5.0 hasta 8.5.37 aceptaba flujos con números excesivos de tramas SETTINS y permitía a los clientes mantener flujos abiertos sin datos de lectura/escritura o solicitud/respuesta. Manteniendo flujos abiertos para peticiones que utilizaban bloqueo I/O en el Servlet API´s, los clientes eran capaces de hacer que los hilos (threads) del lado del servidor se bloquearan, provocando el agotamiento de los hilos y la denegación del servicio (DoS).

A flaw was found in Apache Tomcat, where the HTTP/2 implementation accepted streams with excessive numbers of SETTINGS frames and also permitted clients to keep streams open, which enables them to cause server-side threads to block. This flaw eventually leads to a denial of service attack.

Red Hat support for Spring Boot provides an application platform that reduces the complexity of developing and operating applications for OpenShift as a containerized platform. This release of Red Hat support for Spring Boot 2.1.12 serves as a replacement for Red Hat support for Spring Boot 2.1.6, and includes security and bug fixes and enhancements. Issues addressed include bypass, cross site request forgery, and denial of service vulnerabilities.
