How to fix?

Upgrade h2 to version 0.3.24, 0.4.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption via a steady stream of invalid frames that force the generation of reset frames on the victim endpoint. An attacker can cause Out Of Memory (OOM) and high CPU usage by closing their recv window, which then forces these resets to be queued without bounds.
