Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2019-08-21 05:29:54 UTC
A vulnerability was found in httpd, where HTTP/2 very early pushes, for example configured with "H2PushResource", could lead to an overwrite of memory in the pushing request's pool, leading to crashes. The memory copied is that of the configured push link header values, not data supplied by the client.

Comment 11 Doran Moppert 2019-09-04 03:31:11 UTC
Mitigation:

This flaw is only exploitable if Apache httpd is configured to respond to HTTP/2 requests, which is done by including "h2" or "h2c" in the "Protocols" list in a configuration file.  The following command can be used to search for possible vulnerable configurations: 

    grep -R '^\s*Protocols\>.*\<h2\>' /etc/httpd/

See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_http2.html
