NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jbcs-httpd24-httpd-manual package and not the jbcs-httpd24-httpd-manual package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Apache HTTP Server 2.4.17 to 2.4.34, by sending continuous, large SETTINGS frames a client can occupy a connection, server thread and CPU time without any connection timeout coming to effect. This affects only HTTP/2 connections. A possible mitigation is to not enable the h2 protocol.
