Description A flaw was found in HTTP/2, affecting various web servers. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by combining an HPACK compression bomb with a zero-byte flow-control window. This technique allows a small amount of data to expand into large memory allocations on the server, which are then held, leading to a denial of service (DoS) by rendering the server inaccessible. Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server's mod_http leads to denial of service via malicious HTTP requests. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.17 through 2.4.67.
