Description
CVE-2023-43622 affecting package mod_http2 1.15.14-2
An attacker, opening a HTTP/2 connection with an initial window size of 0, was able to block handling of that connection indefinitely in Apache HTTP Server. This could be used to exhaust worker resources in the server, similar to the well known "slow loris" attack pattern.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.58, which fixes the issue.
