CVE-2026-27135

nghttp2 is an implementation of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 2 in C. Prior to version 1.68.1, the nghttp2 library stops reading the incoming data when user facing public API `nghttp2_session_terminate_session` or `nghttp2_session_terminate_session2` is called by the application. They might be called internally by the library when it detects the situation that is subject to connection error. Due to the missing internal state validation, the library keeps reading the rest of the data after one of those APIs is called. Then receiving a malformed frame that causes FRAME_SIZE_ERROR causes assertion failure. nghttp2 v1.68.1 adds missing state validation to avoid assertion failure. No known workarounds are available.

Summary
  • (es) nghttp2 es una implementación del Protocolo de Transferencia de Hipertexto versión 2 en C. Antes de la versión 1.68.1, la biblioteca nghttp2 deja de leer los datos entrantes cuando la aplicación llama a la API pública orientada al usuario 'nghttp2_session_terminate_session' o 'nghttp2_session_terminate_session2'. Estas pueden ser llamadas internamente por la biblioteca cuando esta detecta una situación sujeta a error de conexión. Debido a la falta de validación del estado interno, la biblioteca sigue leyendo el resto de los datos después de que se llama a una de esas APIs. Luego, recibir una trama malformada que causa FRAME_SIZE_ERROR provoca un fallo de aserción. nghttp2 v1.68.1 añade la validación de estado faltante para evitar el fallo de aserción. No se conocen soluciones alternativas disponibles.
