GHSA-m425-mq94-257g: gRPC-Go HTTP/2 Rapid Reset vulnerability

October 25, 2023 (updated July 19, 2024)

In affected releases of gRPC-Go, it is possible for an attacker to send HTTP/2 requests, cancel them, and send subsequent requests, which is valid by the HTTP/2 protocol, but would cause the gRPC-Go server to launch more concurrent method handlers than the configured maximum stream limit.
