CVE-2019-11940
In the course of decompressing HPACK inside the HTTP2 protocol, an unexpected sequence of header table resize operations can place the header table into a corrupted state, leading to a use-after-free condition and undefined behavior.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.36%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
