Descriptions

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a settings flood, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends a stream of SETTINGS frames to the peer. Since the RFC requires that the peer reply with one acknowledgement per SETTINGS frame, an empty SETTINGS frame is almost equivalent in behavior to a ping. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both.

Algunas implementaciones de HTTP / 2 son vulnerables a una inundación de configuraciones, lo que puede conducir a una denegación de servicio. El atacante envía una secuencia de marcos de CONFIGURACIÓN al par. Como el RFC requiere que el igual responda con un acuse de recibo por cuadro de CONFIGURACIÓN, un cuadro de CONFIGURACIÓN vacío es casi equivalente en comportamiento a un ping. Dependiendo de cuán eficientemente se pongan en cola estos datos, esto puede consumir un exceso de CPU, memoria o ambos.

A flaw was found in HTTP/2. Using SETTINGS frames and queuing of SETTINGS ACK frames, a flood could occur resulting in unbounded memory growth. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
