Design/Logic Flaw

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially leading to a denial of service. 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,...

Design/Logic Flaw

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a flood of empty frames, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends a stream of frames with an empty payload and without the end-of-stream flag. These frames can be DATA, HEADERS, CONTINUATION and/or PUSHPROMISE. The peer spends ti...

CVE-2019-9518

CVE-2019-9518 describes a denial-of-service risk in HTTP/2 where a flood of frames with empty payloads (DATA, HEADERS, CONTINUATION, PUSH_PROMISE) and no end-of-stream flag can exhaust CPU and memory. Connected docs confirm concrete mentions across multiple ecosystems: Cloud Foundry products (emp...

CVE-2019-9516

CVE-2019-9516 is an HTTP/2 header leak vulnerability affecting nginx and several Linux distributions. The issue occurs when an attacker sends streams with 0-length header names and values (optionally Huffman encoded), causing nginx to allocate memory for headers that may be kept until the session...

CVE-2019-9511 Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to window size manipulation and stream prioritization manipulation, potentially leading to a denial of service

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to window size manipulation and stream prioritization manipulation, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker requests a large amount of data from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority ...

CVE-2019-9517

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to unconstrained interal data buffering, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker opens the HTTP/2 window so the peer can send without constraint; however, they leave the TCP window closed so the peer cannot actually write many of the byt...

CVE-2019-9512

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially leading to a denial of service. 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,...

CVE-2019-9515

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a settings flood, potentially leading to a denial of service. 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...

CVE-2019-9515

CVE-2019-9515 concerns an HTTP/2 settings flood that can cause memory/CPU exhaustion. Arista’s security advisory (Security Advisory 0043) states the vulnerability is in Go’s gRPC HTTP/2 usage and can affect TerminAttr, OpenConfig, CVP, and certain Wi‑Fi OpenConfig-enabled components when enabled....

CVE-2019-9516 Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a header leak, potentially leading to a denial of service

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a header leak, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends a stream of headers with a 0-length header name and 0-length header value, optionally Huffman encoded into 1-byte or greater headers. Some implementations allocate memory fo...

CVE-2019-9513

CVE-2019-9513 (and related HTTP/2 CVEs) affect nginx and nghttp2. The issues enable denial of service via HTTP/2 resource loops and priority/window manipulation, causing high CPU/memory usage. nginx 1.16.x and nghttp2 are specifically named in advisories; remediation is upgrading to fixed package...
