CVE-2026-11352

Haxx Curl denial of service

7.5 HIGHPublic exploitEPSS 0.71%
  1. Published3 Jul 2026

Description

An issue in curl’s QUIC UDP receive function allows a malicious HTTP/3 server to trigger a remote denial of service against a curl or libcurl client. Because the helper function discards zero-length UDP datagrams before counting them toward the per-call packet budget, a connected QUIC peer can continuously stream empty datagrams to indefinitely stall the client.
