Bug ID: 60232
Summary: HTTP/2 connector stuck when parsing big http header
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: 8.5.5
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: barney...@gmail.com
HTTP/2 connector of tomcat 8.5.5 is getting stuck (endless busy loop) when
parsing a big (e.g. 30kb) http header.
Steps to reproduce using apache-tomcat-8.5.5-windows-x86.zip on windows 7 (64)
and jre 1.8.0_102 (32):
1.) configure a https connector including http2 upgrade, e.g.
<Connector port="8443"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol"
maxThreads="150" SSLEnabled="true">
<UpgradeProtocol className="org.apache.coyote.http2.Http2Protocol" />
<SSLHostConfig>
<Certificate certificateKeyFile="key.key"
certificateFile="cert.crt"
/>
</SSLHostConfig>
</Connector>
2.) Point Firefox to https://localhost:8443/, verify HTTP/2 is used using
Network View in Developer Tools
3.) For the verified request, use 'Edit and Resend' to add a big http header,
e.g.
X-Big-Header: <put 30kb of text here>
and send that request
4.) The request never returns, and Windows Task Manager shows that tomcat's
java vm now fully uses one core
5.) Stacktrace of the stuck thread looks like this:
Name: https-openssl-apr-8443-exec-6

In case you're wondering what the use-case for such big headers is: they
actually occur when using SPNEGO/Kerberos. The 'Negotiate'-Header can easily be
dozens of KB long.
