CVE-2019-9514

Published: 13 August 2019

Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a reset flood, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker opens a number of streams and sends an invalid request over each stream that should solicit a stream of RST_STREAM frames from the peer. Depending on how the peer queues the RST_STREAM frames, this can consume excess memory, CPU, or both.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that Netty incorrectly implements HTTP/2. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
