Apache HTTP2 Module Pool Usage Vulnerabilit

Code
apache2: concurrent pool usage in http2 module

h2_mplx.c contains a number of calls to ap_log_cerror using m->c (the master connection) as an argument. These calls can trigger allocations using the m->c->pool. 
One example is core_generate_log_id. As some of the code in h2_mplx.c is executed on a worker thread, it is possible that the main thread performs a parallel allocation and corrupts the pool. (apr memory pools are not thread-safe)
Most logging calls are using DEBUG and TRACE levels and can't be exploited in a production environment. 
However, the task_done function calls ap_log_cerror with APLOG_INFO when throttling tasks, which can be triggered by a malicious client:

h2_mplx.c:809            
        ap_log_cerror(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_INFO, 0, m->c,
                          H2_STRM_MSG(stream, \"redo, added to q\"));
