BSA-2017-305
Summary
Security Advisory ID : BSA-2017-305
Component : Apache Tomcat
Revision : 1.0: Interim
The handling of an HTTP/2 GOAWAY frame for a connection did not close streams associated with that connection that were currently waiting for a WINDOW_UPDATE before allowing the application to write more data. These waiting streams each consumed a thread. A malicious client could therefore construct a series of HTTP/2 requests that would consume all available processing threads.
