Overview

org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-coyote is a Tomcat Connectors and HTTP parser.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the HTTP/2 backlog tracking when a stream is reset. An attacker can exhaust system resources by repeatedly resetting streams, leading to service disruption.

Note: This issue was fixed in Apache Tomcat 10.1.58 but the release vote for the 10.1.58 release candidate did not pass. Therefore, although users must download 10.1.59 to obtain a version that includes a fix for this issue, version 10.1.58 is not included in the list of affected versions.
