Rapid Reset: Denial of Service Vulnerability in HTTP/2 Protocol

No violationsstackroxhighbuilddeploy

Alert on deployments with images containing components that are susceptible to a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability for HTTP/2 servers.

Rationale: This is a flaw in the handling of multiplexed streams in http/2. A client can rapidly create a request and immediately reset them, which creates extra work for the server while avoiding hitting any server-side limits, resulting in a denial of service attack.
Remediation: Upgrade vulnerable components or images to the latest version.
