The sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce function in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 does not validate certain auth_enable and auth_capable fields before making an sctp_sf_authenticate call, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via an SCTP handshake with a modified INIT chunk and a crafted AUTH chunk before a COOKIE_ECHO chunk.
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to window size manipulation and stream prioritization manipulation, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker requests a large amount of data from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority to force the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both.
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a header leak, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends a stream of headers with a 0-length header name and 0-length header value, optionally Huffman encoded into 1-byte or greater headers. Some implementations allocate memory for these headers and keep the allocation alive until the session dies. This can consume excess memory.
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to resource loops, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a way that causes substantial churn to the priority tree. This can consume excess CPU.
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a reset flood, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker opens a number of streams and sends an invalid request over each stream that should solicit a stream of RST_STREAM frames from the peer. Depending on how the peer queues the RST_STREAM frames, this can consume excess memory, CPU, or both.
The Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) in F5 BIG-IP LTM, APM, ASM, Edge Gateway, GTM, Link Controller, and WOM 10.0.0 through 10.2.2 and 11.0.0; Analytics 11.0.0; PSM 9.4.0 through 9.4.8, 10.0.0 through 10.2.4, and 11.0.0 through 11.4.1; and WebAccelerator 9.4.0 through 9.4.8, 10.0.0 through 10.2.4, and 11.0.0 through 11.3.0 might change a TCP connection to the ESTABLISHED state before receiving the ACK packet, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (SIGFPE or assertion failure and TMM restart) via unspecified vectors.
On F5 SSL Orchestrator 14.1.0-14.1.0.5 and 14.0.0-14.0.0.4, undisclosed traffic flow may cause TMM to restart under certain circumstances.
On BIG-IP PEM 14.1.0-14.1.0.5 and 14.0.0-14.0.0.4, under certain conditions, the TMM process may terminate and restart while processing BIG-IP PEM traffic with the OpenVPN classifier.

Virtual servers in F5 BIG-IP systems 11.2.1 HF11 through HF15, 11.4.1 HF4 through HF10, 11.5.3 through 11.5.4, 11.6.0 HF5 through HF7, and 12.0.0, when configured with a TCP profile, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Traffic Management Microkernel restart) via crafted network traffic.
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a settings flood, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends a stream of SETTINGS frames to the peer. Since the RFC requires that the peer reply with one acknowledgement per SETTINGS frame, an empty SETTINGS frame is almost equivalent in behavior to a ping. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both.
Virtual servers in F5 BIG-IP 11.5.4, when SSL profiles are enabled, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption and Traffic Management Microkernel restart) via an SSL alert during the handshake.
njs through 0.3.1, used in NGINX, has a segmentation fault in String.prototype.toBytes for negative arguments, related to nxt_utf8_next in nxt/nxt_utf8.h and njs_string_offset in njs/njs_string.c.
Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment in the Linux kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit f070ef2ac66716357066b683fb0baf55f8191a2e.
Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value was subject to an integer overflow in the Linux kernel when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs).
