What to do
- See which version you have:
cargo tree -i quinn-proto(it also shows which of your dependencies pulls it in). - Update within your version requirement:
cargo update -p quinn-proto. If the fix is a newer major or minor than your requirement allows, raise it in Cargo.toml (for examplequinn-proto = "0.11.7") or update the dependency that pulls it in. - Check again with
cargo audit, or paste your Cargo.lock into our Cargo.toml checker.
Details from the advisory
In 0.11.0, we overhauled the server-side Endpoint implementation to enable more careful handling of incoming connection attempts. However, some of the code paths that cleaned up state after connection attempts were processed confused the initial destination connection ID with the destination connection ID of a substantial package. This resulted in the internal Endpoint state becoming inconsistent, which could then lead to a panic.
