CVE-2019-9514 is an uncontrolled-resource-consumption vulnerability in HTTP/2 implementations. A malicious peer sends HTTP/2 HEADERS frames containing invalid HTTP headers, causing the server to generate RST_STREAM control frames. By repeatedly soliciting resets while not reading the peer's responses, the attacker can cause RST_STREAM frames to accumulate in the server's outbound control-message queue without an effective bound. Affected implementations may therefore experience unbounded memory growth and, depending on queueing behavior, excessive CPU consumption.
