Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

s2n-quic is a Rust implementation of the QUIC protocol. An unauthenticated user can attempt to exhaust server memory on an s2n-quic endpoint by sending crafted CRYPTO frames with high offsets. The buffer used for processing CRYPTO frames does not enforce a maximum size. In the worst case, a single 1200-byte packet can cause approximately 9.4 MB of allocation. By repeatedly sending such packets, the resulting memory pressure could cause denial of service. No valid handshake is required. Impacted versions: <= v1.81.0 ### Patches This issue has been addressed in s2n-quic version v1.82.0. We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.  ### Workarounds There is no workaround that fully mitigates this issue. Upgrading to the patched version is the recommended remediation. ### References If there are any questions or comments about this advisory, contact AWS Security via the [vulnerability reporting page](https://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting) or directly via email to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
