nghttp2 security advisories :

The overly large HTTP/2 SETTINGS frame payload causes denial of service.

The proof of concept attack involves a malicious client constructing a SETTINGS frame with a length of 14,400 bytes (2400 individual settings entries) over and over again. The attack causes the CPU to spike at 100%.
