How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 mod_http2 to version 0:1.15.7-2.module+el8.3.0+7670+8bf57d29 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mod_http2 package and not the mod_http2 package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Apache HTTP server versions 2.4.37 and prior, by sending request bodies in a slow loris way to plain resources, the h2 stream for that request unnecessarily occupied a server thread cleaning up that incoming data. This affects only HTTP/2 (mod_http2) connections.
