"Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially
leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends continual pings to
an HTTP/2 peer, causing the peer to build an internal queue of
responses. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can
consume excess CPU, memory, or both. (CVE-2019-9512)

Impact

The BIG-IP system may exhaust available resources and fail over to
another system in the device group.");
