Description

Impact<br /> <br /> Cloudflare quiche was discovered to be vulnerable to incorrect congestion window growth, which could cause it to send data at a rate faster than the path might actually support.<br /> <br /> An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the vulnerability by first completing a handshake and initiating a congestion-controlled data transfer towards itself. Then, it could manipulate the victim&amp;#39;s congestion control state by sending ACK frames exercising an opportunistic ACK attack; see RFC 9000 Section 21.4. The victim could grow the congestion window beyond typical expectations and allow more bytes in flight than the path might really support.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Patches<br /> <br /> <br /> quiche 0.24.4 is the earliest version containing the fix for this issue.
