Summary

A vulnerability in curl's QUIC UDP receive function allows a malicious HTTP/3 server to trigger a remote denial of service (DoS) against a curl or libcurl client. The helper function discards zero-length UDP datagrams before counting them toward the per-call packet budget, enabling a connected QUIC peer to continuously stream empty datagrams and indefinitely stall the client.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that an attacker-controlled HTTP/3 server can effectively block a curl or libcurl client, preventing further communication and causing a denial of service for applications relying on these libraries.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update curl and libcurl to a patched version. If an update is not possible, consider temporarily disabling HTTP/3 support as a workaround.

Original NVD description (English source)

An issue in curl’s QUIC UDP receive function allows a malicious HTTP/3 server to trigger a remote denial of service against a curl or libcurl client. Because the helper function discards zero-length UDP datagrams before counting them toward the per-call packet budget, a connected QUIC peer can continuously stream empty datagrams to indefinitely stall the client.
