SCA: security update for github.com/quic-go/quic-go (GHSA-j972-j939-p2v3)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437087
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go. The loss recovery logic for path probe packets
that was added in the v0.50.0 release can be used to trigger a nil-pointer dereference by a malicious QUIC
client. In order to do so, the attacker first sends valid QUIC packets from different remote addresses
(thereby triggering the newly added path validation logic: the server sends path probe packets), and then
sending ACKs for packets received from the server specifically crafted to trigger the nil-pointer
dereference. v0.50.1 contains a patch that fixes the vulnerability. This release contains a test that
generates random sequences of sent packets (both regular and path probe packets), that was used to verify
that the patch actually covers all corner cases. No known workarounds are available. (CVE-2025-29785)
