"Jonathon Loomey of Netflix reports :
HTTP/2 implementations do not robustly handle abnormal traffic and
resource exhaustion
Recently, a series of DoS attack vulnerabilities have been reported on
a broad range of HTTP/2 stacks. Among the vulnerabilities, H2O is
exposed to the following :
- CVE-2019-9512 'Ping Flood': 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, potentially leading to a denial of
service.
- CVE-2019-9514 'Reset Flood': 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, potentially leading to a denial of service.
- CVE-2019-9515 'Settings Flood': The attacker sends a stream of
SETTINGS frames to the peer. Since the RFC requires that the peer
reply with one acknowledgement per SETTINGS frame, an empty SETTINGS
frame is almost equivalent in behavior to a ping. Depending on how
efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory,
or both, potentially leading to a denial of service.");
