From 52b7389a5714c43e93ad9bdb38cb96cc1c7055b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Meenali Gupta Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2023 03:45:50 +0000 Subject: nginx: fix CVE-2023-44487 The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023.
