Frequently Asked Questions

1

What must an attacker control to trigger this issue?

The attacker needs to act as, or control, an HTTP/2 server that receives an upload from curl. That server must send an RST_STREAM frame with either the HTTP_1_1_REQUIRED or REFUSED_STREAM reason during the upload.

2

Are non-upload HTTP/2 requests affected?

The described condition occurs during an upload. The provided information does not indicate that HTTP/2 requests without an upload trigger the use-after-free.
