CVE-2019-9518 is an HTTP/2 uncontrolled-resource-consumption vulnerability affecting certain HTTP/2 implementations. A remote peer can transmit a continuous sequence of empty-payload DATA, HEADERS, CONTINUATION, and/or PUSH_PROMISE frames without setting the end-of-stream flag. Processing each frame imposes disproportionate work relative to the bandwidth required to send it, enabling CPU exhaustion and starvation of legitimate clients.
