HTTP2 protocol regression

Packagetomcat8
Version8.5.54-0+deb9u13 (stretch)


A regression was discovered in the Http2UpgradeHandler class of Tomcat 8 introduced by the patch to fix CVE-2023-44487 (Rapid Reset Attack). A wrong value for the overheadcount variable forced HTTP2 connections to close early.



For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 8.5.54-0+deb9u13.

We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat8 packages.
