CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedVersions of h3 prior to 2.0.1-rc.18 are vulnerable due to inadequate validation of chunk counts in user-controlled cookie values, specifically in the setChunkedCookie() and deleteChunkedCookie() functions. This flaw allows attackers to exploit the server by sending a malicious cookie header, resulting in an O(n²) cleanup loop that can hang the server process, potentially leading to denial of service. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate this high-severity vulnerability.

Original NVD Description
h3 versions before 2.0.1-rc.18 fail to validate the chunk count parsed from user-controlled cookie values in setChunkedCookie() and deleteChunkedCookie() functions. Attackers can send a crafted cookie header with an extremely large chunk count to trigger an O(n²) cleanup loop that hangs the server process.
