Hyper · Hyper · CVE-2023-26964
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
hyper version 0.13.7
h2 version 0.2.4
**Description**
An issue in the H2 component of hyper occurs when processing HTTP2 RST STREAM frames, leading to stream stacking and high memory and CPU usage, which can result in a Denial of Service (DoS). This issue affects users when dealing with HTTP2 connections. If an attacker floods the network with pairs of `HEADERS`/`RST STREAM` frames, the pending accept queue can grow in memory usage, resulting in excessive memory use and potentially triggering Out Of Memory.
**Recommendations**
For hyper version 0.13.7, consider updating to a version that includes the fix for the issue, which restricts remote reset stream count by default.
For h2 version 0.2.4, consider updating to a version that includes the fix for the issue, which restricts remote reset stream count by default.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the number of remote reset streams to prevent excessive memory use.
