The fix for CVE-2019-0199 was incomplete and did not address HTTP/2 connection window exhaustion on write in Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.19 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.40 . By not sending WINDOW_UPDATE messages for the connection window (stream 0) clients were able to cause server-side threads to block eventually leading to thread exhaustion and a DoS.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • Check Point IPS signature available for this CVE — detect Apache Tomcat HTTP/2 connection window exhaustion DoS attempts
  • ·Affected Apache Tomcat versions: 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.19 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.40 — exploit targets HTTP/2 by withholding WINDOW_UPDATE messages for the connection window (stream 0), causing server-side thread exhaustion
  • ·Mitigation: disabling HTTP/2 in Tomcat configuration prevents exploitation — pki-servlet-container is not vulnerable in its default configuration because HTTP/2 is not enabled by default
