CVE-2024-27983 (GCVE-0-2024-27983)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-04-09 01:06 – Updated: 2025-11-04 18:30
VLAI
Summary
An attacker can make the Node.js HTTP/2 server completely unavailable by sending a small amount of HTTP/2 frames packets with a few HTTP/2 frames inside. It is possible to leave some data in nghttp2 memory after reset when headers with HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frame are sent to the server and then a TCP connection is abruptly closed by the client triggering the Http2Session destructor while header frames are still being processed (and stored in memory) causing a race condition.
