{"id":"GHSA-xhg9-xwch-vr7x","summary":"quiche vulnerable to unbounded storage of information related to connection ID retirement","details":"### Impact\n\nCloudflare quiche was discovered to be vulnerable to unbounded storage of information related to connection ID retirement, which could lead to excessive resource consumption. Each QUIC connection possesses a set of connection Identifiers (IDs); see [RFC 9000 Section 5.1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9000#section-5.1). Endpoints declare the number of active connection IDs they are willing to support using the active_connection_id_limit transport parameter. The peer can create new IDs using a NEW_CONNECTION_ID frame but must stay within the active ID limit. This is done by retirement of old IDs, the endpoint sends NEW_CONNECTION_ID includes a value in the retire_prior_to field, which elicits a RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID frame as confirmation. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the vulnerability by sending NEW_CONNECTION_ID frames and manipulating the connection (e.g. by restricting the peer's congestion window size) so that RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID frames can only be sent at a slower rate than they are received, leading to storage of information related to connection IDs in an unbounded queue. \n\n### Patches\n\nQuiche versions 0.19.2 and 0.20.1 are the earliest to address this problem. There is no workaround for affected versions.","aliases":["CVE-2024-1410"],"modified":"2026-07-08T06:52:55.490645239Z","published":"2024-03-13T15:38:21Z","database_specific":{"severity":"LOW","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2024-03-13T15:38:21Z","nvd_published_at":"2024-03-12T18:15:07Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-400"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/security/advisories/GHSA-xhg9-xwch-vr7x"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-1410"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/commit/0c5733a84c41e9e178adc866b11ce59ac264f5af"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/commit/5be8143126f8cfa8a483d4a5ae475b9a46053fa1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/commit/7ab42af5f5e97f20f1d63b7ea2f9ab0536678c40"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/commit/a983998c4408605905ee9a6ab0fc00e68436ac67"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/releases/tag/0.19.2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/releases/tag/0.20.1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"quiche","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/quiche"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.19.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/03/GHSA-xhg9-xwch-vr7x/GHSA-xhg9-xwch-vr7x.json"}},{"package":{"name":"quiche","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/quiche"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.20.0"},{"fixed":"0.20.1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/03/GHSA-xhg9-xwch-vr7x/GHSA-xhg9-xwch-vr7x.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"}]}
