CVE-2026-69202

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Http4s, Ember's HTTP/2 flow-control window is replenished based on bytes received from the network rather than bytes consumed by the application, while each stream stores DATA in an unbounded channel. A hostile peer can send a body faster than a slow or non-draining application consumes it, retaining payloads in heap on an ember-server or ember-client configured with withHttp2. The patch bounds the per-stream H2Connection body channel so application consumption applies backpressure. Fixed in versions 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47.

Risk Assessment

A remote attacker can cause heap exhaustion and denial of service by sending data faster than the application consumes it. This affects Ember servers and clients with HTTP/2 enabled.

Recommendation

Upgrade Http4s to version 0.23.35 or 1.0.0-M47 (or later). Until patched, consider disabling HTTP/2 on the Ember server and client.

Original NVD description (English source)

Http4s is a Scala interface for HTTP services. Prior to 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47, Ember’s HTTP/2 flow-control window is replenished according to bytes received from the network rather than bytes consumed by the application, while each stream stores DATA in an unbounded channel. A hostile peer can therefore send a body faster than a slow or non-draining application consumes it, retaining payloads in heap on an ember-server or ember-client configured with withHttp2. The patch bounds the per-stream H2Connection body channel so application consumption applies backpressure. This issue is fixed in versions 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47.
