Synopsis
========
Nghttp2 is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack.
Background
==========
Nghttp2 is an implementation of HTTP/2 and its header compression
algorithm HPACK in C.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-libs/nghttp2 < 1.7.1 >= 1.7.1
Description
===========
Nghttpd, nghttp, and libnghttp2_asio applications do not limit the
memory usage for the incoming HTTP header field. If a peer sends a
specially crafted HTTP/2 HEADERS frame and CONTINUATION frame, they
will crash with an out of memory error.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All nghttp2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/nghttp2-1.7.1"
References
==========
