between HTTP/2 specifications and the internal architectures of some HTTP/2 implementations may
result in excessive server resource consumption leading to denial-of-service (DoS). By opening
streams and then rapidly triggering the server to reset them, using malformed frames or flow
control errors, an attacker can exploit incorrect stream accounting. Streams reset by the server
are considered closed at the protocol level, even though backend processing continues. This
allows a client to cause the server to handle an unbounded number of concurrent streams on a
single connection.");

is assumed that the whole 10.x branch and all versions prior to 9.x are affected by these flaws.
