Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for
rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers and
clients.
Path to vulnerable library: /home/wss-scanner/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/io.netty/netty-codec-http2/4.1.27.Final/3769790a2033667d663f9a526d5b63cfecdbdf4e/netty-codec-http2-4.1.27.Final.jar
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a settings flood, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends a stream of SETTINGS frames to the peer. Since the RFC requires that the peer reply with one acknowledgement per SETTINGS frame, an empty SETTINGS frame is almost equivalent in behavior to a ping. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both.
