Header Accordions: QPACK amplification attacks against HTTP/3 servers - FoxIO | Cyber Innovation
TLDRA remote, unauthenticated client can force an HTTP/3 server to allocate tens to thousands of times more memory than it sends. One connection is enough to OOM or pin a default-configured server. Seven of the ten implementations tested are vulnerable; several are already fixed.QPACK compresses HTTP/3 headers to minimize traffic sent over the wire. Across the affected implementations, decoded-header limits are missing, incomplete, or applied too late. A small HEADERS frame can therefore expand ...
