Peer minimum ACK delay can panic quinn-proto when ACK_FREQUENCY transmission is enabled
Published Sep 14, 2026 · RustSec Rust · evidence confidence high
When sending ACK_FREQUENCY frames is enabled through , the peer's transport parameters could cause to call with a minimum greater than its maximum, which panics. For example, a peer advertising a of 100,000 microseconds and a of 100 milliseconds passes transport parameter validation. At a 5 ms RTT, the lower bound of the clamp becomes 100 ms while the upper bound is 25 ms, violating the precondition of and panicking while driving the connection. Both automatically derived and explicitly configured maximum ACK delays use this calculation. Sending ACK_FREQUENCY frames is disabled by default, so
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-2026-0340 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.
