Remote peer can panic quinn-proto with zero-length STREAM frames during unordered reads

Published Sep 14, 2026 · RustSec Rust · evidence confidence high

When a stream is read in unordered mode (for example through in quinn-proto or in ), quinn-proto proactively deduplicates received data by recording received ranges in a through its method. When an incoming STREAM frame carried an empty payload, the implementation of the iterator returned by inserted an empty range into the set, violating the invariant that stored ranges are non-empty. Subsequent frames overlapping that region then caused a panic while processing the stream. A remote peer can trigger this with five small STREAM frames (two of them zero-length) once the application has put the

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

RUSTSEC-2026-0338 is a unknown public vulnerability record for RustSec Rust. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether RustSec Rust is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected version ranges have not been ingested yet. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.

Security analyst

Signals on file: no CVSS/EPSS yet. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Sources contributing to this record: rustsec. Public exploit references, when present, are outbound links only and are not proof of active exploitation. This is a catalog interpretation of stored metadata.

Exploitation and remediation

  • Exploitation evidence

    Not listed as known exploited in CISA KEV. Not in CISA KEV or VulnCheck KEV.

  • Patch and remediation

    No required-action text is stored yet. Use the vendor or CERT links in Sources for patch availability.

  • Safe detection guidance

    Compare installed versions with the affected ranges below and verify the advisory from the original publisher. This site stores metadata and outbound links only; it does not ship exploit code or proof-of-concept payloads.
