Envoy is an open source L7 proxy and communication bus designed for large modern service oriented architectures. In affected versions Envoy transitions a H/2 connection to the CLOSED state when it receives a GOAWAY frame without any streams outstanding. The connection state is transitioned to DRAINING when it receives a SETTING frame with the SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS parameter set to 0. Receiving these two frames in the same I/O event results in abnormal termination of the Envoy process due to invalid state transition from CLOSED to DRAINING. A sequence of H/2 frames delivered by an untrusted upstream server will result in Denial of Service in the presence of untrusted **upstream** servers. Envoy versions 1.19.1, 1.18.4 contain fixes to stop processing of pending H/2 frames after connection transition to the CLOSED state.

Incorrect handling of H2 GOAWAY + SETTINGS frames
osv·2021-09-10·CVSS 7.5
CVE-2021-39162 [HIGH] Incorrect handling of H2 GOAWAY + SETTINGS frames
Incorrect handling of H2 GOAWAY + SETTINGS frames
Envoy, which Pomerium is based on, can abnormally terminate if an H/2 GOAWAY and SETTINGS frame are received in the same IO event.
### Impact
This can lead to a DoS in the presence of untrusted *upstream* servers.
### Patches
0.15.1 contains an upgraded envoy binary with this vulnerability patched.
### Workarounds
If only trusted upstreams are configured, there is not substantial risk of this condition being triggered.
