Quinn is a pure-Rust, async-compatible implementation of the IETF QUIC transport protocol. Prior to 0.11.14, 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. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.11.14.

No affected version ranges are stored yet. Use the vendor advisory before you decide this record does not apply.
