Vulnerability from osv_rustsec
Receiving QUIC transport parameters containing invalid values could lead to a panic.
Unfortunately the maintainers did not properly assess usage of unwrap() calls in the
transport parameters parsing code, and we did not have sufficient fuzzing coverage to find this
issue. We have since added a fuzzing target to cover this code path.

A remote, unauthenticated attacker can trigger a denial of service in applications using vulnerable quinn versions by sending a crafted QUIC Initial packet containing malformed quic_transport_parameters. In quinn-proto parsing logic, attacker-controlled varints are decoded with unwrap(), so truncated encodings cause Err(UnexpectedEnd) and panic. This is reachable over the network with a single packet and no prior trust or authentication."

GHSA-6XVM-J4WR-6V98
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-11 00:09 – Updated: 2026-03-11 05:46Summary
A remote, unauthenticated attacker can trigger a denial of service in applications using vulnerable quinn versions by sending a crafted QUIC Initial packet containing malformed quic_transport_parameters. In quinn-proto parsing logic, attacker-controlled varints are decoded with unwrap(), so truncated encodings cause Err(UnexpectedEnd) and panic. This is reachable over the network with a single packet and no prior trust or authentication.
Details
The issue is panic-on-untrusted-input in QUIC transport parameter parsing.
In quinn-proto (observed in quinn-proto 0.11.13), parsing of some transport parameters uses a fallible varint decode followed by unwrap(). For malformed/truncated parameter values, decode returns UnexpectedEnd, and unwrap() panics.
Observed output:
thread 'tokio-rt-worker' (2366474) panicked at quinn-proto/src/transport_parameters.rs:473:67:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: UnexpectedEnd
PoC
Reproduces against the upstream Quinn server example.
- Start server:
cargo run --example server -- ./
- Prepare PoC client environment:
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install aioquic
- Run PoC script attack.py against server QUIC listener (default example target shown):
python attack.py
Observed output
thread 'tokio-rt-worker' (2366903) panicked at quinn-proto/src/transport_parameters.rs:473:67:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: UnexpectedEnd
Impact
Vulnerability type: Remote Denial of Service (panic/crash)
Attack requirements: Network reachability to UDP QUIC listener
Authentication/privileges: None
Who is impacted: Any server/application using affected quinn/quinn-proto versions where this parse path is reachable; process-level impact depends on integration panic handling policy
