Descriptions

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.

Algunas implementaciones de HTTP / 2 son vulnerables a una avalancha de tramas vacías, lo que puede conducir a una denegación de servicio. El atacante envía una secuencia de tramas con una carga útil vacía y sin el indicador de fin de secuencia. Estos marcos pueden ser DATA, HEADERS, CONTINUATION y / o PUSH_PROMISE. El par pasa tiempo procesando cada cuadro desproporcionado para atacar el ancho de banda. Esto puede consumir un exceso de CPU.

A flaw was found in HTTP/2. Using frames with an empty payload, a flood could occur that results in excessive CPU usage and starvation of other clients. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
