Affected packages

• Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat: >= 9.0.0.M1, < 9.0.0.M19 → fixed in 9.0.0.M19 • Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat: >= 8.5.0, < 8.5.13 → fixed in 8.5.13

Description

In Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M18 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.12, the handling of an HTTP/2 GOAWAY frame for a connection did not close streams associated with that connection that were currently waiting for a WINDOW_UPDATE before allowing the application to write more data. These waiting streams each consumed a thread. A malicious client could therefore construct a series of HTTP/2 requests that would consume all available processing threads.
