Descriptions
Cloudflare 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. Quiche versions 0.19.2 and 0.20.1 are the earliest to address this problem. There is no workaround for affected versions.
Se descubrió que Cloudflare quiche era vulnerable al almacenamiento ilimitado de información relacionada con la retirada del ID de conexión, lo que podría provocar un consumo excesivo de recursos. Cada conexión QUIC posee un conjunto de Identificadores de conexión (ID); consulte RFC 9000 Sección 5.1 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9000#section-5.1. Los endpoints declaran la cantidad de ID de conexión activa que están dispuestos a admitir mediante el parámetro de transporte active_connection_id_limit. El par puede crear nuevas ID utilizando un framework NEW_CONNECTION_ID pero debe permanecer dentro del límite de ID activo. Esto se hace retirando los ID antiguos, el endpoint envía NEW_CONNECTION_ID e incluye un valor en el campo retire_prior_to, que genera un framework RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID como confirmación. Un atacante remoto no autenticado puede explotar la vulnerabilidad enviando tramas NEW_CONNECTION_ID y manipulando la conexión (por ejemplo, restringiendo el tamaño de la ventana de congestión del par) de modo que las tramas RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID solo puedan enviarse a una velocidad más lenta de la que se reciben, lo que lleva al almacenamiento de información relacionada con ID de conexión en una cola ilimitada. Las versiones 0.19.2 y 0.20.1 de Quiche son las primeras en solucionar este problema. No existe ningún workaround para las versiones afectadas.
