Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow n the Http2Session.altsvc() method, which allocates a buffer sized to the origin length and then writes a null terminator one byte past the end of it. An attacker can corrupt process memory and abort the process by sending an HTTP/2 request with a long :authority header. Only applications that pass an attacker-controlled value, such as the request's :authority header, to Http2Session.altsvc() are affected.
