Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to the lack of validation on the SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE parameter. An attacker can cause the server to allocate excessive memory resources, leading to an OutOfMemoryError or causing the JVM to exit by specifying a very large value for this parameter.
