{"id":"CVE-2024-22189","summary":"QUIC's Connection ID Mechanism vulnerable to Memory Exhaustion Attack","details":"quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go. Prior to version 0.42.0, an attacker can cause its peer to run out of memory 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. The attacker can prevent the receiver from sending out (the vast majority of) these `RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID` frames by collapsing the peers congestion window (by selectively acknowledging received packets) and by manipulating the peer's RTT estimate. Version 0.42.0 contains a patch for the issue. No known workarounds are available.","aliases":["GHSA-c33x-xqrf-c478","GO-2024-2682"],"modified":"2026-04-02T09:49:37.712434Z","published":"2024-04-04T14:25:43.663Z","related":["CGA-5cg8-j3ff-f9wv","openSUSE-SU-2024:0211-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:0220-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:0319-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:13845-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:13847-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:13849-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:13865-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:14014-1"],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-770"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/22xxx/CVE-2024-22189.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://seemann.io/posts/2024-03-19-exploiting-quics-connection-id-management"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqXtYcZAtIA&t=3683s"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/22xxx/CVE-2024-22189.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/quic-go/quic-go/security/advisories/GHSA-c33x-xqrf-c478"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-22189"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/quic-go/quic-go/commit/4a99b816ae3ab03ae5449d15aac45147c85ed47a"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/quic-go/quic-go","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4a99b816ae3ab03ae5449d15aac45147c85ed47a"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/quic-go/quic-go","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4a99b816ae3ab03ae5449d15aac45147c85ed47a"}]}],"versions":["race","v.0.21","v0.10.0","v0.10.0-no-integrationtests","v0.10.1","v0.10.1-no-integrationtests","v0.10.2","v0.11.0","v0.11.1","v0.11.2","v0.12.0","v0.12.1","v0.13.0","v0.13.1","v0.14.0","v0.14.1","v0.14.2","v0.14.3","v0.14.4","v0.15.0","v0.15.1","v0.15.2","v0.15.3","v0.15.4","v0.15.5","v0.15.6","v0.15.7","v0.15.8","v0.16.0","v0.16.1","v0.16.2","v0.17.0","v0.17.1","v0.17.2","v0.17.3","v0.18.0","v0.18.1","v0.19.0","v0.19.1","v0.19.2","v0.19.3","v0.20.0","v0.20.1","v0.21.0","v0.21.0-rc.1","v0.21.0-rc.2","v0.21.1","v0.21.2","v0.22.0","v0.22.1","v0.23.0","v0.24.0","v0.25.0","v0.26.0","v0.27.0","v0.27.1","v0.27.2","v0.28.0","v0.28.1","v0.29.0","v0.29.1","v0.29.2","v0.30.0","v0.31.0","v0.31.1","v0.32.0","v0.33.0","v0.33.1","v0.34.0","v0.35.0","v0.35.1","v0.36.0","v0.36.1","v0.36.2","v0.36.3","v0.36.4","v0.37.0","v0.37.1","v0.37.2","v0.37.3","v0.37.4","v0.37.5","v0.37.6","v0.37.7","v0.38.0","v0.38.1","v0.38.2","v0.39.0","v0.39.1","v0.39.2","v0.39.3","v0.39.4","v0.4","v0.40.0","v0.40.1","v0.41.0","v0.5.0","v0.6.0","v0.7.0","v0.8.0","v0.9.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-22189.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
