CVE-2024-28182

A vulnerability was found in how nghttp2 implements the HTTP/2 protocol. There are insufficient limitations placed on the amount of CONTINUATION frames that can be sent within a single stream. This issue could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to send packets to vulnerable servers, which could use up compute or memory resources to cause a Denial of Service.

Red Hat rates the security impact of this vulnerability as Moderate, in alignment with upstream nghttp2. The worst case scenario is excessive CPU utilization causing a denial of service. Once an attack has ended, the system should return to normal operations on its own.
