EUVDB-ID: #VU70334


Risk: Medium


CVSSv3.1:


CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41717


CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling


Exploit availability: No


Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


The vulnerability exists due to excessive memory growth when handling HTTP/2 server requests. HTTP/2 server connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number of entries in this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate approximately 64 MiB per open connection.


Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
