CVE-2025-59530
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go. In versions prior to 0.49.0, 0.54.1, and 0.55.0, a misbehaving or malicious server can cause a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on the quic-go client by triggering an assertion failure, leading to a process crash. This requires no authentication and can be exploited during the handshake phase. This was observed in the wild with certain server implementations. quic-go needs to be able to handle misbehaving server implementations, including those that prematurely send a HANDSHAKE_DONE frame. Versions 0.49.0, 0.54.1, and 0.55.0 discard Initial keys when receiving a HANDSHAKE_DONE frame, thereby correctly handling premature HANDSHAKE_DONE frames.

"value": "quic-go es una implementación del protocolo QUIC en Go. En versiones anteriores a la 0.49.0, 0.54.1 y 0.55.0, un servidor malintencionado o con comportamiento anómalo puede causar un ataque de denegación de servicio (DoS) en el cliente quic-go al desencadenar un fallo de aserción, lo que lleva a un bloqueo del proceso. Esto no requiere autenticación y puede ser explotado durante la fase de handshake. Esto se observó en la práctica con ciertas implementaciones de servidor. quic-go necesita poder manejar implementaciones de servidor con comportamiento anómalo, incluyendo aquellas que envían prematuramente un frame HANDSHAKE_DONE. Las versiones 0.49.0, 0.54.1 y 0.55.0 descartan las claves iniciales al recibir un frame HANDSHAKE_DONE, manejando así correctamente los frames HANDSHAKE_DONE prematuros."
