Summary

When processing HTTP/2 SETTINGS frames, the transport enters an infinite loop of writing CONTINUATION frames if it receives a SETTINGS_MAX_FRAME_SIZE with a value of 0.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization is the possibility of a DoS attack through network and CPU resource exhaustion, which could lead to unavailability of HTTP/2 services.

Recommendation
