Summary

h2 servers vulnerable to degradation of service with CONTINUATION Flood

Description

An attacker can send a flood of CONTINUATION frames, causing h2 to process them indefinitely. This results in an increase in CPU usage.

Tokio task budget helps prevent this from a complete denial-of-service, as the server can still respond to legitimate requests, albeit with increased latency.

Patches available for 0.4.x and 0.3.x versions.
