NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libnghttp2_asio1-32bit package and not the libnghttp2_asio1-32bit package as distributed by SLES.

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to window size manipulation and stream prioritization manipulation, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker requests a large amount of data from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority to force the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both.
