CVE-2026-10740 - Excessive memory allocation in s2n-quic

Bulletin ID: 2026-042-AWS Scope: AWS Content Type: Important (requires attention) Publication Date: 06/10/2026 11:15 AM PDT Description: s2n-quic is a Rust implementation of the QUIC protocol. We identified CVE-2026-10740, an issue of unbounded memory allocation in the CRYPTO frame reassembler in s2n-quic before 1.82.0. An unauthenticated user can attempt to exhaust server memory on an s2n-quic endpoint by sending crafted CRYPTO frames with high offsets. The buffer used for processing CRYPTO frames does not enforce a maximum size. In the worst case, a single 1200-byte packet can cause approximately 9.4 MB of allocation. By repeatedly sending such packets, the resulting memory pressure could cause denial of service. No valid handshake is required. Impacted versions: < v1.82.0 Please refer to the article below for the most up-to-date and complete information related to this AWS Security Bulletin.
