OpenSSL Improperly Controlled Sequential Memory Allocation Vulnerability - CVE-2026-34183

High
Reference: CVE-2026-34183
NVD Link: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-34183
Title: OpenSSL Improperly Controlled Sequential Memory Allocation Vulnerability
Overview:

Issue summary: Remote peer may exhaust heap memory of the QUIC server or client by flooding it with packets containing PATH_CHALLENGE frames. Impact summary: A malicious remote peer can cause an unbounded memory allocation which can lead to an abnormal termination of the application acting as a QUIC client or server and a Denial of Service. A remote peer may exhaust heap memory by flooding the local QUIC stack with PATH_CHALLENGE frames. The local QUIC stack allocates a PATH_RESPONSE frame for every PATH_CHALLENGE it receives. The allocated PATH_RESPONSE frame gets freed only when the remote peer acknowledges reception of the PATH_RESPONSE frame which will not be done by a malicious peer. The FIPS modules in 4.0 3.6 3.5 3.4 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue. The QUIC stack is outside of OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.
