Title
Apache Tomcat: DoS via excessive h2 streams at connection start
Summary
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache Tomcat if an HTTP/2 client did not acknowledge the initial settings frame that reduces the maximum permitted concurrent streams.
This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.8, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.42, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.106.
The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are
known to be affected: 8.5.0 through 8.5.100. Other EOL versions may also be affected.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.9, 10.1.43 or 9.0.107, which fix the issue.
