Description Sam Fowler 2018-07-20 00:49:23 EDT
Apache httpd before version 2.4.34 has a vulnerability in the handling of specially crafted HTTP/2 requests, causing workers to be allocated 60 seconds longer than necessary, leading to worker exhaustion and a denial of service.

This issue only affects servers that have configured and enabled HTTP/2 support, which is not the default

Comment 1 Sam Fowler 2018-07-20 00:50:06 EDT
Created httpd tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1605049]
Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2018-07-20 03:14:27 EDT
HTTP/2 support was first added upstream in version 2.4.17:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_http2.html
http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_2.4.17

Hence earlier versions can not be affected.  Additionally, upstream lists version 2.4.18 as the first affected.
Comment 9 Scott Gayou 2018-08-14 15:39:35 EDT
httpd24-httpd (2.4.27) appears to be vulnerable. http2 modules are built and loaded by default.
