CVE-2026-44909 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Proxygen caused by the absence of a generalized slow-consumer detection mechanism in the core HTTP session layer. In affected versions, a remote client can abuse HTTP/2 flow-control semantics by advertising SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE as zero or by withholding WINDOW_UPDATE frames, preventing the server from transmitting response data while still allowing request processing to continue. The vulnerable implementation continues generating complete response bodies and buffers them in memory for stalled streams instead of applying sufficient backpressure or terminating the connection. By opening many concurrent streams and requesting large resources, an unauthenticated attacker can force unbounded accumulation of buffered response data in memory. Affected versions are v2017.01.16.00 through v2026.07.20.00.
