APP: quic-go CRYPTO ACK Nil Pointer Dereference
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against quic-go CRYPTO ACK. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
Extended Description
quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go. Starting in version 0.37.0 and prior to version 0.37.3, by serializing an ACK frame after the CRYTPO that allows a node to complete the handshake, a remote node could trigger a nil pointer dereference (leading to a panic) when the node attempted to drop the Handshake packet number space. An attacker can bring down a quic-go node with very minimal effort. Completing the QUIC handshake only requires sending and receiving a few packets. Version 0.37.3 contains a patch. Versions before 0.37.0 are not affected.
