Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Envoy is a cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy. Envoy's 1.31 is using `oghttp` as the default HTTP/2 codec, and there are potential bugs around stream management in the codec. To resolve this Envoy will switch off the `oghttp2` by default. The impact of this issue is that envoy will crash. This issue has been addressed in release version 1.31.2. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Envoy proxy 1.31 uses oghttp as the default HTTP/2 codec, which contains bugs in stream management logic. These bugs can cause Envoy to crash when processing HTTP/2 traffic. The vulnerability was addressed by switching off oghttp2 as the default in version 1.31.2.

MitigationUpgrade Envoy to version 1.31.2 or later. No workarounds are available; the only remediation is the version upgrade.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check Envoy version
    Run `envoy --version` or query the admin endpoint `/server_info` to retrieve the running version
    Affected if Version is 1.31.0 or 1.31.1 (versions >= 1.31.0 and < 1.31.2)
  2. Confirm HTTP/2 traffic is processed
    Review Envoy listener configurations and verify HTTP/2 protocol is enabled on inbound or outbound listeners. Check listener logs or metrics for http2 traffic.
    Affected if HTTP/2 traffic is accepted or forwarded by Envoy
  3. Verify oghttp2 codec is in use
    Check Envoy bootstrap or listener configuration for `codec_type: HTTP/2` or the `oghttp2` codec specification. Query `/config_dump` via admin to inspect active listener codec settings.
    Affected if The oghttp2 codec is explicitly configured or is the default codec for HTTP/2 listeners

You are affected if your Envoy version is 1.31.0 or 1.31.1 and HTTP/2 traffic is processed with the oghttp2 codec.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 1.31.2 or later
Fixed in 1.31.2
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Envoy to version 1.31.2 or later. No workarounds are available; the only remediation is the version upgrade.

Recommended fix High confidence

Envoy 1.31.2

  1. Identify current Envoy version using `envoy --version` or checking the deployment manifest
  2. Stop Envoy service to prevent crashes during upgrade
  3. Upgrade Envoy to version 1.31.2 using the appropriate package manager or deployment method (e.g., `apt-get install envoy=1.31.2`, Docker image update, or binary replacement)
  4. Verify the upgrade was successful by running `envoy --version` to confirm version 1.31.2 is installed
  5. Restart the Envoy service
  6. Monitor Envoy logs and performance to confirm stability and that the crash issue is resolved
