| Package | Affected versions | Patched versions |
|---|---|---|
| priority | < 1.2.0 | 1.2.0 |
| python priority library | = 1.0.0= 1.1.0= 1.1.1 |
A HTTP/2 implementation built using any version of the Python priority library prior to version 1.2.0 could be targeted by a malicious peer by having that peer assign priority information for every possible HTTP/2 stream ID. The priority tree would happily continue to store the priority information for each stream, and would therefore allocate unbounded amounts of memory. Attempting to actually use a tree like this would also cause extremely high CPU usage to maintain the tree.
