NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jbcs-httpd24-httpd-selinux package and not the jbcs-httpd24-httpd-selinux package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

HTTP/2 incoming headers exceeding the limit are temporarily buffered in nghttp2 in order to generate an informative HTTP 413 response. If a client does not stop sending headers, this leads to memory exhaustion.
