Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13943)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when processing HTTP/2 requests. If an HTTP/2 client exceeded the agreed maximum number of concurrent streams for a connection (in violation of the HTTP/2 protocol), it was possible that a subsequent request made on that connection could contain HTTP headers - including HTTP/2 pseudo headers - from a previous request rather than the intended headers. This could lead to users seeing responses for unexpected resources.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
