Overview

github.com/traefik/traefik/v2/pkg/server is a server package for traefik, a cloud native edge router.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling when reading header data from CONTINUATION frames. As part of the HPACK flow, all incoming HEADERS and CONTINUATION frames are read even if their payloads exceed MaxHeaderBytes and will be discarded. An attacker can send excessive data over a connection to render it unresponsive.
