Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Apache Traffic Server mishandles integers while decoding HPACK/XPACK headers, corrupting memory.
This issue affects Apache Traffic Server: from 8.0.0 through 8.1.9, from 9.0.0 through 9.2.14, from 10.0.0 through 10.1.3.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.15 or 10.1.4, which fix the issue.
AnalysisAI
Memory corruption in Apache Traffic Server during HPACK/XPACK header decoding exposes affected deployments to denial of service. Versions spanning the 8.x, 9.x, and 10.x release lines are affected, with unauthenticated remote attackers able to craft malformed compressed headers that trigger an integer overflow (CWE-190), corrupting server memory. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires Apache Traffic Server to be running a vulnerable version (8.0.0-8.1.9, 9.0.0-9.2.14, or 10.0.0-10.1.3) with HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 (QUIC) protocol support enabled and accessible from the attacker's network position. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.9 (Medium) is consistent with the available signals. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP/2 request containing a malformed HPACK header block in which an integer field is encoded to produce an overflow when decoded by Apache Traffic Server. The corrupted integer propagates into memory allocation or buffer indexing logic, corrupting the ATS process heap and causing a crash, taking down the proxy or cache service. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Apache Traffic Server to version 9.2.15 or 10.1.4, both of which are confirmed by the vendor as fixing this issue per the advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/5prl9glcm9g2swnq9hqxvnokylm1gr6d. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
