It was discovered that nghttp2, an implementation of the HTTP/2 protocol, could be crashed via an assertion failure. A remote attacker could exploit this to cause a DoS attack by sending a malformed frame immediately after triggering the termination path.



For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1.36.0-2+deb10u4.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.18.1-1+deb9u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your nghttp2 packages.
