CVE-2019-9513  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 nginx to version 1.16.1-0ubuntu1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nginx package and not the nginx package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to resource loops, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a way that causes substantial churn to the priority tree. This can consume excess CPU.
