Last modified
CVE-2022-30591 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. quic-go through 0.27.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a Slowloris variant in which incomplete QUIC or HTTP/3 requests are sent. This occurs because mtu_discoverer.go misparses the MTU Discovery service and consequently overflows the probe timer. EPSS estimates a 2.41% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
