+Subject: [PATCH] HTTP/2: per-iteration stream handling limit.
+
+To ensure that attempts to flood servers with many streams are detected
+early, a limit of no more than 2 * max_concurrent_streams new streams per one
+event loop iteration was introduced. This limit is applied even if
+max_concurrent_streams is not yet reached - for example, if corresponding
+streams are handled synchronously or reset.
+
+Further, refused streams are now limited to maximum of max_concurrent_streams
+and 100, similarly to priority_limit initial value, providing some tolerance
+to clients trying to open several streams at the connection start, yet
+low tolerance to flooding attempts.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
+[https://github.com/nginx/nginx/commit/6ceef192e7af1c507826ac38a2d43f08bf265fb9]
+
+Reduces the impact of HTTP/2 Stream Reset flooding in the nginx product
+(CVE-2023-44487).
+
+See: https://www.nginx.com/blog/http-2-rapid-reset-attack-impacting-f5-nginx-products/
+
+This patch only reduces the impact and does not completely mitigate the CVE
+in question, the latter being due to a design flaw in the HTTP/2 protocol
+itself. For transparancy reasons I therefore opted to not mark the
+CVE as resolved, so that integrators can decide for themselves, wheither to
+enable HTTP/2 support or allow HTTP/1.1 connections only.
