How to fix?

Upgrade io.netty:netty-codec-http2 to version 4.1.135.Final, 4.2.15.Final or higher.

Overview

io.netty:netty-codec-http2 is a HTTP2 sub package for the netty library, an event-driven asynchronous network application framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to the lack of enforcement of the advertised MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS setting in HTTP/2 connections in AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder. An attacker can exhaust server resources by opening a large number of concurrent streams over a single TCP connection, potentially leading to service disruption.
