CVE-2026-10725 (2026-06-06)

Protocol::HTTP2 versions before 1.13 for Perl is vulnerable to a HTTP/2 Bomb. Protocol::HTTP2's inbound HPACK path has no header-list size limit, so a small HTTP/2 request can expand into large server memory (the "HTTP/2 bomb"). The headers_decode method materialises a full key+value copy per indexed reference with no running size check, and the stream_header_block_add method appends (since version 1.12) every CONTINUATION frame to the per-stream buffer unbounded. MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE (default 65536) is advertised in SETTINGS but never consulted on decode. It is absent from the decoder and from the :limits export tag.

Changes for version 0.04 - 2014-05-08

  • enable Upgrade in server-anyevent.pl example
  • implemented Upgrade support
  • fixed build/tests on windows
  • update cpanfile (Net::SSLeay > 1.45 for NPN)
  • update state doc
