Mitigation checklist
- Disable HTTP/2 server processing in affected Go applications by setting the environment variable GODEBUG=http2server=0, or restrict network exposure to trusted clients. For applications managed by systemd, configure the environment variable by creating a service override: systemctl edit <service-name> Add the following lines under the [Service] section: [Service] Environment="GODEBUG=http2server=0" Apply the changes and restart the daemon: systemctl daemon-reload systemctl restart <service-name> To limit network exposure using firewalld, restrict access to trusted networks: firewall-cmd --zone=trusted --add-source=<trusted-ip-range> --permanent firewall-cmd --reload Caveats: Disabling HTTP/2 forces incoming client traffic to HTTP/1.1 and will break protocols that require HTTP/2, such as gRPC. Warning: Reloading systemd configurations and restarting the service or firewall will briefly interrupt active network sessions and cause temporary service unavailability.
