An attacker, opening a HTTP/2 connection with an initial window size of 0, was able to block handling of that connection indefinitely in Apache HTTP Server. This could be used to exhaust worker resources in the server, similar to the well known "slow loris" attack pattern. This has been fixed in version 2.4.58, so that such connection are terminated properly after the configured connection timeout. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.55 through 2.4.57. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.58, which fixes the issue.
Un atacante, al abrir una conexión HTTP/2 con un tamaño de ventana inicial de 0, pudo bloquear el manejo de esa conexión indefinidamente en el servidor HTTP Apache. Esto podría usarse para agotar los recursos de los trabajadores en el servidor, similar al conocido patrón de ataque "slow loris". Esto se solucionó en la versión 2.4.58, de modo que dicha conexión finalice correctamente después del tiempo de espera de conexión configurado. Este problema afecta al servidor HTTP Apache: desde 2.4.55 hasta 2.4.57. Se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 2.4.58, que soluciona el problema.
