DescriptionCVE.org

Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. From 2.8.2 until 2.11.56 and 3.7.12, HTTP/3 entrypoints do not apply entryPoints..transport.respondingTimeouts.readTimeout because the timeout is enforced on a TCP connection and the HTTP/3 server has no corresponding QUIC stream deadline. An unauthenticated client can use a slow request body, trickling data indefinitely while holding a request and an upstream connection open and exhausting backends with bounded connection pools. This issue is fixed in 2.11.56 and 3.7.12.

AnalysisAI

HTTP/3 read timeout non-enforcement in Traefik allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exhaust upstream backend connection pools by trickling request body data indefinitely over QUIC streams. Versions 2.8.2 through 2.11.55 and 3.x through 3.7.11 fail to apply the configured readTimeout to HTTP/3 entrypoints because that timeout is enforced at the TCP connection layer and QUIC streams have no corresponding deadline. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation HTTP/3 must be explicitly enabled on a Traefik entrypoint via the `entryPoints.<name>.http3` configuration block in the static configuration file - this is not enabled or present in default Traefik deployments and must be deliberately configured. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.3 Medium score with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L accurately reflects the limited blast radius: this is a DoS-only vulnerability with no confidentiality or integrity impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to Traefik 2.11.56 or 3.7.12, confirmed available at https://github.com/traefik/traefik/releases/tag/v2.11.56 and https://github.com/traefik/traefik/releases/tag/v3.7.12 respectively. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
