Summary
Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer in Apache Tomcat
Details

The HTTP/2 header parser in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M11 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.6 entered an infinite loop if a header was received that was larger than the available buffer. This made a denial of service attack possible.
