CVE-2019-9512
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially leading to a denial of service.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 83.4%, higher than 100% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
Description
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends continual pings to an HTTP/2 peer, causing the peer to build an internal queue of responses. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both.
