**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
HTTP/2 implementations (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a flood of empty frames in HTTP/2 implementations, which can lead to a denial of service. An attacker sends a stream of frames with an empty payload and without the end-of-stream flag. These frames can be `DATA`, `HEADERS`, `CONTINUATION`, and/or `PUSH PROMISE`. The peer spends time processing each frame disproportionate to attack bandwidth, consuming excess CPU.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
