Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the H2Connection process. An attacker can exhaust heap memory and cause service disruption by sending HTTP/2 HEADERS or PUSH_PROMISE frames without END_HEADERS, followed by unbounded CONTINUATION fragments, leading to unbounded memory accumulation before request decoding.
