"net/url in Go before 1.11.13 and 1.12.x before 1.12.8 mishandles
malformed hosts in URLs, leading to an authorization bypass in some
applications. This is related to a Host field with a suffix appearing
in neither Hostname() nor Port(), and is related to a non-numeric port
number. For example, an attacker can compose a crafted javascript://
URL that results in a hostname of google.com. (CVE-2019-14809)
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.(CVE-2019-9512)
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a reset flood,
potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker opens a
number of streams and sends an invalid request over each stream that
should solicit a stream of RST_STREAM frames from the peer. Depending
on how the peer queues the RST_STREAM frames, this can consume excess
memory, CPU, or both.(CVE-2019-9514)");
