Apache · Apache Traffic Server · CVE-2020-9494
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apache Traffic Server versions 6.0.0 through 6.2.3
Apache Traffic Server versions 7.0.0 through 7.1.10
Apache Traffic Server versions 8.0.0 through 8.0.7
**Description**
The issue is related to a buffer data boundary overflow in the Apache Traffic Server, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. The vulnerability can be triggered by certain types of HTTP/2 HEADERS frames, leading to excessive memory allocation and thread spinning.
**Recommendations**
For Apache Traffic Server versions 6.0.0 through 6.2.3, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue.
For Apache Traffic Server versions 7.0.0 through 7.1.10, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue.
For Apache Traffic Server versions 8.0.0 through 8.0.7, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the handling of HTTP/2 HEADERS frames to minimize the risk of exploitation.
