s2n-quic potential denial of service vulnerability when receiving empty UDP packets

GHSA-hxq4-mx37-fqvg

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (s2n-quic 1.23.0), 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: GHSA-hxq4-mx37-fqvg

Advisory: s2n-quic potential denial of service vulnerability when receiving empty UDP packets
IDs: GHSA-hxq4-mx37-fqvg
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-hxq4-mx37-fqvg (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:37 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: s2n-quic 1.23.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- crates.io s2n-quic: affected >= 1.22.0, <= 1.22.0; fixed in 1.23.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- crates.io s2n-quic: 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 s2n-quic.
- 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-hxq4-mx37-fqvg (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-hxq4-mx37-fqvg lists affected ranges: crates.io s2n-quic >=1.22.0 <=1.22.0)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
