+ <background>
+ <p>Nghttp2 is an implementation of HTTP/2 and its header compression
+ algorithm HPACK in C.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Nghttpd, nghttp, and libnghttp2_asio applications do not limit the
+ memory usage for the incoming HTTP header field. If a peer sends a
+ specially crafted HTTP/2 HEADERS frame and CONTINUATION frame, they will
+ crash with an out of memory error.
