NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpd:2.4/mod_session package and not the httpd:2.4/mod_session package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

HTTP/2 (2.4.20 through 2.4.39) very early pushes, for example configured with "H2PushResource", could lead to an overwrite of memory in the pushing request's pool, leading to crashes. The memory copied is that of the configured push link header values, not data supplied by the client.
