🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)

📋 Description

In Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M18 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.12, the handling of an HTTP/2 GOAWAY frame for a connection did not close streams associated with that connection that were currently waiting for a WINDOW_UPDATE before allowing the application to write more data. These waiting streams each consumed a thread. A malicious client could therefore construct a series of HTTP/2 requests that would consume all available processing threads.

🎯 Affected products2

  • maven/org.apache.tomcat:tomcat:>= 9.0.0.M1, <= 9.0.0.M18
  • maven/org.apache.tomcat:tomcat:>= 8.5.0, <= 8.5.12
