How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:8 libnghttp2 to version 0:1.33.0-5.el8_8 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2023-5837.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libnghttp2 package and not the libnghttp2 package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023.
