CVE-2024-22189
Description
A flaw was found in quic-go. This issue may allow an attacker to trigger a denial of service by sending a large number of NEW_CONNECTION_ID frames that retire old connection IDs. The receiver is supposed to respond to each retirement frame with a RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID frame, but the attacker can prevent the receiver from sending out the vast majority of these RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID frames by selectively acknowledging received packets and collapsing the peers congestion window and by manipulating the peer's RTT estimate.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
