Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from HTTP/2 request parsing in Kestrel. The affected component (Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core) and the nature of the fix (parsing corrections) strongly implicate core HTTP/2 processing logic. The Http2Connection.ProcessHeadersFrameAsync and Http2HeadersDecoder.Decode are central to handling HTTP/2 headers and HPACK compression, common attack vectors for parsing-related DoS. While exact patch details are unavailable, these functions align with the vulnerability's description and Kestrel's HTTP/2 architecture.
