CVE ID         : CVE-2023-44487
Debian Bug     : 1054232

A vulnerability has been identified in h2o, a high-performance web server
with support for HTTP/2.

A security vulnerability CVE-2023-44487 was discovered that could potentially
be exploited to disrupt server operation.

The vulnerability in the h2o HTTP/2 server was related to the handling of
certain types of HTTP/2 requests. In certain scenarios, an attacker could
send a series of malicious requests, causing the server to process them
rapidly and exhaust system resources.
