+	  <p>If ALTSVC frame is received by libnghttp2 and it is larger than it can
+	    accept, the pointer field which points to ALTSVC frame payload is left
+	    NULL. Later libnghttp2 attempts to access another field through the
+	    pointer, and gets segmentation fault.</p>
+	  <p>ALTSVC frame is defined by RFC 7838.</p>
+	  <p>The largest frame size libnghttp2 accept is by default 16384 bytes.</p>
+	  <p>Receiving ALTSVC frame is disabled by default. Application has to
+	    enable it explicitly by calling
+	    nghttp2_option_set_builtin_recv_extension_type(opt, NGHTTP2_ALTSVC).</p>
+	  <p>Transmission of ALTSVC is always enabled, and it does not cause this
+	    vulnerability.</p>
+	  <p>ALTSVC frame is expected to be sent by server, and received by client
+	    as defined in RFC 7838.</p>
+	  <p>Client and server are both affected by this vulnerability if the
+	    reception of ALTSVC frame is enabled. As written earlier, it is useless
+	    to enable reception of ALTSVC frame on server side. So, server is
+	    generally safe unless application accidentally enabled the reception of
+	    ALTSVC frame.</p>
