s2n-quic has excessive memory allocation
Packages
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.
