Description from NVD
In proxygen's HTTP/3 session, when a HEADERS block referenced QPACK dynamic table entries that had not yet been received, header decoding for that stream was paused, but the session continued to read the stream from the QUIC transport. The unread data bypassed the session's ingress buffer limit, returned flow-control credit to the peer, and was re-scanned in full on every read. With QPACK blocked streams enabled (the default), a remote, unauthenticated HTTP/3 peer could send a HEADERS block that references a dynamic table insert it never sends, followed by a continuous stream of data, causing memory growth until the request timed out and CPU usage that grows quadratically, leading to denial of service. This issue affects proxygen versions prior to v2026.11.09.00.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
