AI-suggested
A fix is available in quinn version 0.11.14. Users should upgrade to version 0.11.14 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Red Hat advisories indicate that no effective mitigations other than upgrading are available that meet their criteria. Therefore, upgrading is the recommended remediation.
Description
Quinn is a pure-Rust, async-compatible implementation of the IETF QUIC transport protocol. Prior to 0.11.14, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can trigger a denial of service in applications using vulnerable quinn versions by sending a crafted QUIC Initial packet containing malformed quic_transport_parameters. In quinn-proto parsing logic, attacker-controlled varints are decoded with unwrap(), so truncated encodings cause Err(UnexpectedEnd) and panic. This is reachable over the network with a single packet and no prior trust or authentication. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.11.14.
