Title
QUIC zero-length UDP datagrams busy-loop
Summary
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.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
