      "value": "Envoy is a cloud-native, open source edge and service proxy. The HTTP/2 protocol stack in Envoy versions prior to 1.29.3, 1.28.2, 1.27.4, and 1.26.8 are vulnerable to CPU exhaustion due to flood of CONTINUATION frames. Envoy's HTTP/2 codec allows the client to send an unlimited number of CONTINUATION frames even after exceeding Envoy's header map limits. This allows an attacker to send a sequence of CONTINUATION frames without the END_HEADERS bit set causing CPU utilization, consuming approximately 1 core per 300Mbit/s of traffic and culminating in denial of service through CPU exhaustion. Users should upgrade to version 1.29.3, 1.28.2, 1.27.4, or 1.26.8 to mitigate the effects of the CONTINUATION flood. As a workaround, disable HTTP/2 protocol for downstream connections."

La pila de protocolos HTTP/2 en las versiones de Envoy anteriores a 1.29.3, 1.28.2, 1.27.4 y 1.26.8 son vulnerables al agotamiento de la CPU debido a la inundaci\u00f3n de tramas de CONTINUACI\u00d3N. El c\u00f3dec HTTP/2 de Envoy permite al cliente enviar un n\u00famero ilimitado de tramas de CONTINUACI\u00d3N incluso despu\u00e9s de exceder los l\u00edmites del mapa de encabezado de Envoy. Esto permite a un atacante enviar una secuencia de tramas CONTINUATION sin que el bit END_HEADERS est\u00e9 configurado causando la utilizaci\u00f3n de la CPU, consumiendo aproximadamente 1 n\u00facleo por cada 300 Mbit/s de tr\u00e1fico y culminando en una denegaci\u00f3n de servicio por agotamiento de la CPU. Los usuarios deben actualizar a la versi\u00f3n 1.29.3, 1.28.2, 1.27.4 o 1.26.8 para mitigar los efectos de la inundaci\u00f3n de CONTINUACI\u00d3N. Como workaround, deshabilite el protocolo HTTP/2 para conexiones descendentes."
