Severity: moderate

Affected versions:

- Apache Traffic Server 8.0.0 through 8.1.9
- Apache Traffic Server 9.0.0 through 9.2.3

Description:

HTTP/2 CONTINUATION&nbsp;DoS attack can cause Apache Traffic Server to consume more resources on the server.&nbsp; Version from 
8.0.0 through 8.1.9, from 9.0.0 through 9.2.3 are&nbsp;affected.

Users can set a new setting (proxy.config.http2.max_continuation_frames_per_minute) to limit the number of CONTINUATION 
frames per minute. &nbsp;ATS does have a fixed amount of memory a request can use and ATS adheres to these limits in 
previous releases.
Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 8.1.10 or 9.2.4 which fixes the issue.
