Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling through the processing of QPACK-encoded HEADERS frames containing trailer field sections. An attacker can cause excessive memory allocation by sending specially crafted frames with ma...

GHSA-VVGJ-X9JQ-8CJ9 quic-go: HTTP/3 QPACK Trailer Expansion Memory Exhaustion

Summary An attacker can cause excessive memory allocation in quic-go's HTTP/3 client and server implementations by sending a QPACK-encoded HEADERS frame that decodes into a large trailer field section with many unique field names and/or large values. The implementation builds an http.Header for t...

The implementation builds an http.Header for t...

nginx: ngx_http_v3_module: use-after-free issue leads to denial of service

A flaw was found in the ngxhttpv3module module of NGINX. When NGINX is configured to use the HTTP/3 QUIC module, an attacker can use a specially crafted HTTP/3 session to reopen a QPACK encoder stream and cause a use-after-free issue, potentially allowing code execution or a denial of service by...

Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value through the decodeHuffmanEncodedLiteral function in the QPACK decoder, which allocates memory for a byte array based on a length value received from the network without verifying that sufficie...

Netty HTTP/3 QPACK literal unbounded allocation

Summary When Netty decodes HTTP/3 headers, it sometimes runs new bytelength using a length from the wire before checking that many bytes are really there. A small malicious header can claim a huge length on the order of a gigabyte. Details When decoding header blocks, the non-Huffman branch of...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

github.com/quic-go/quic-go is vulnerable to a Denial Of Service DoS. The vulnerability is due to missing limits on the size of decoded HTTP/3 headers from QPACK-encoded HEADERS frames, which allows an attacker to send crafted requests with large header fields to trigger excessive memory allocatio...

GHSA-6W86-WGWQ-RGQ8 neqo-qpack has iInteger overflow in qpack dynamic table indexing

Summary An unsanitized qpack index can lead to an integer overflow, panicing in debug mode, accessing the wrong or no dynamic table entry in release mode. What does this mean for Firefox? Firefox runs Neqo in release mode. A malicious remote can cause its own QUIC connection to fail to use qpack,...

curl: HTTP/3 Protocol Smuggling and Header Injection via CRLF in QPACK value conversion

A fundamental design flaw exists in how libcurl handles HTTP/3 QUIC response headers across all supported backends ngtcp2, quiche, openssl-quic. The vulnerability stems from the unsafe transcoding of binary QPACK headers HTTP/3 into the textual HTTP/1.1 format used internally by curl's pipeline...
