Understanding CVE-2023-44487
CVE-2023-44487, as cataloged by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system, is a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability that impacts any internet exposed HTTP/2 endpoints and is known as the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Attack. In a Rapid Reset Attack, an attacker sends a large number of HTTP/2 reset frames in a very short period of time to a target server. These reset frames are a legitimate part of the HTTP/2 protocol and are used to signal the abrupt termination of a stream. However, when sent in rapid succession in a coordinated attack, they can overwhelm the server’s resources and disrupt its normal operation.
The goal of a Rapid Reset Attack is to exhaust the server’s resources, such as CPU or memory, by forcing it to process a large number of reset frames. This can lead to a denial of service (DoS) condition, where legitimate users are unable to access the server or its services due to the excessive resource consumption caused by the attack.
CVE-2023-44487 impacts several packages. Please refer to: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-44487 for additional information.
