Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via GitHub release of openssl/openssl. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in OpenSSL QUIC implementation allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server memory by sending crafted PATH_CHALLENGE frames that trigger unbounded memory growth in the QUIC handler. The flaw affects OpenSSL branches 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, and 4.0.0, and is fixed in the 4.0.1 security release alongside numerous other CVEs. …

Impact
Server OOM-kill and service outage

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target must be running OpenSSL 3.4.0-3.4.5, 3.5.0-3.5.6, 3.6.0-3.6.2, or 4.0.0 with QUIC server functionality enabled and reachable from the attacker (typically inbound UDP/443 for HTTP/3 or another QUIC-based protocol); a QUIC handshake must complete to a point where PATH_CHALLENGE frames are accepted by the handler. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H scores 7.5 and reflects a pure availability impact reachable over the network without authentication or user interaction - a classic remote DoS profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker establishes a QUIC handshake to a vulnerable OpenSSL-based server (for example an HTTP/3 endpoint) and then sends a continuous stream of crafted PATH_CHALLENGE frames, each causing the server's QUIC stack to allocate additional state without releasing it. Memory consumption grows until the process is killed by the OOM killer or the host begins paging and stops serving legitimate traffic, producing a denial of service against the targeted endpoint. …
Remediation Apply the vendor-released patches: upgrade to OpenSSL 4.0.1, 3.6.3, 3.5.7, or 3.4.6 depending on the branch in use, as published in the OpenSSL security advisory at https://openssl-library.org/news/secadv/20260609.txt and the 4.0.1 release notes at https://github.com/openssl/openssl/releases/tag/openssl-4.0.1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running OpenSSL versions 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, or 4.0.0 that expose QUIC endpoints. …
