CVE-2026-11352

QUIC zero-length UDP datagrams busy-loop

Published Jul 3, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 1.0% KEV · Not listed
Description
An issue in curl’s QUIC UDP receive function allows a malicious HTTP/3 server
to trigger a remote denial of service against a curl or libcurl client.
Because the helper function discards zero-length UDP datagrams before counting
them toward the per-call packet budget, a connected QUIC peer can continuously
stream empty datagrams to indefinitely stall the client.
