Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for trafficserver,
additionally to #934887. Filling as separate bug as the fixed version
ranges slightly differ.

CVE-2019-9518[0]:
| Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a flood of empty frames,
| potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends a
| stream of frames with an empty payload and without the end-of-stream
| flag. These frames can be DATA, HEADERS, CONTINUATION and/or
| PUSH_PROMISE. The peer spends time processing each frame
| disproportionate to attack bandwidth. This can consume excess CPU.
