Description
webtransport-go is an implementation of the WebTransport protocol. Prior to 0.11.1, Session.parseNextCapsule() in session.go skips an unknown WebTransport capsule on the HTTP/3 request stream by calling io.ReadAll on the capsule reader, retaining the complete declared capsule body in memory. A malicious peer can send a large unknown capsule and cause a client or server to allocate memory for the full payload; QUIC flow control does not bound the total retained allocation because reading advances the flow-control window while the received bytes remain in memory. The resulting memory and resource exhaustion can disrupt or crash the affected process. This issue is fixed in version 0.11.1.
