CVE-2026-59173 is an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in Apache Traffic Server's handling of HTTP/2 flow-control under stalled transmission conditions. A remote client can abuse standard HTTP/2 mechanisms by advertising a zero or very small receive window, or by withholding WINDOW_UPDATE frames, causing the server to continue processing requests and generating full response bodies even though the client is not permitting the data to be sent. As a result, unsent response data accumulates in memory on a per-stream basis. By opening multiple streams and requesting large responses, an attacker can amplify memory usage and drive the server into resource exhaustion. Affected versions are Apache Traffic Server 9.0.0 through 9.1.13 and 10.0.0 through 10.1.2.
