Oracle’s January 2024 Critical Patch Update Bulletin to remediate the related CVE-2023-44487 vulnerability in its product family (17th Jan 2024)

Preface: HTTP/2 Rapid Reset, based on stream multiplexing. HTTP/2 Rapid Reset attacks mostly affect the large infrastructure providers. Software smaller providers use, such as NGINX, Apache Server, ….etc

Background: Oracle GraalVM is a high-performance JDK that can speed up the performance of Java and JVM-based applications using an alternative just-in-time (JIT) compiler.

Vulnerability details: 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.

If you are managing or operating your own HTTP/2-capable server (open source or commercial) you should immediately apply a patch from the relevant vendor when available.
