CVE-2022-30591 Details
Description
quic-go through 0.27.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a Slowloris variant in which incomplete QUIC or HTTP/3 requests are sent. This occurs because mtu_discoverer.go misparses the MTU Discovery service and consequently overflows the probe timer. NOTE: the vendor's position is that this behavior should not be listed as a vulnerability on the CVE List
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in quic-go versions through 0.27.0. This issue allows remote attackers to cause excessive CPU consumption by sending incomplete QUIC or HTTP/3 requests, exploiting a Slowloris-like technique. The vulnerability arises from a misinterpretation of the MTU Discovery service in the file mtu_discoverer.go, leading to an overflow of the probe timer.
