MsQuic Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability
CVE-2023-36435GHSA-fr44-546p-7xcp
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (microsoft.native.quic.msquic.schannel 2.2.3; microsoft.native.quic.msquic.openssl 2.2.3), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2023-36435 Advisory: MsQuic Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability IDs: CVE-2023-36435, GHSA-fr44-546p-7xcp Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2023-36435 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 17:00 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: High (CVSS 7.5) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: microsoft.native.quic.msquic.schannel 2.2.3; microsoft.native.quic.msquic.openssl 2.2.3. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - NuGet microsoft.native.quic.msquic.schannel: affected < 2.2.3; fixed in 2.2.3 - NuGet microsoft.native.quic.msquic.openssl: affected < 2.2.3; fixed in 2.2.3 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - NuGet microsoft.native.quic.msquic.schannel: check the installed version with your package manager. - NuGet microsoft.native.quic.msquic.openssl: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on microsoft.native.quic.msquic.schannel, microsoft.native.quic.msquic.openssl. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-fr44-546p-7xcp (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-fr44-546p-7xcp lists affected ranges: NuGet microsoft.native.quic.msquic.openssl >=0 =0 <2.2.3) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
