Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-27135)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to missing state validation in the nghttp2 session handling logic when processing malformed frames after session termination has been initiated. A remote attacker can send specially crafted frames to cause a denial of service.
For PRIORITY_UPDATE and ALTSVC frames, the affected extension types must be explicitly enabled. Builds with assertions disabled may not crash under the same conditions.
