"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)

Impact

The BIG-IP system may exhaust available resources and fail over to
another system in the device group.");
