script_tag(name:"insight", value:"The vulnerability takes advantage of a design flaw in the
HTTP/2 protocol - While HTTP/2 has a limit on the number of concurrently active streams per
connection (which is usually 100, and is set by the parameter SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS),
the number of active streams is not counted correctly - when a stream is reset, it is immediately
considered not active, and thus unaccounted for in the active streams counter. While the protocol
does not count those streams as active, the server's backend logic still processes and handles
the requests that were canceled. Thus, the attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause the
server to handle an unbounded number of concurrent streams from a client on the same connection.
The exploitation is very simple: the client issues a request in a stream, and then sends the
control frame that causes the server to send a RST_STREAM.");
