CVE-2026-119234 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-11

mvfst is a QUIC protocol library used in network communications. A remote attacker could send specially crafted stream fragments to force excessive memory consumption and CPU usage, causing the service to become unresponsive or unavailable.

Vendors: Meta.

Technical details

mvfst's STREAM frame handling fails to properly merge or compact out-of-order fragments, allowing a small received fragment to keep a much larger receive buffer alive. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send many small, non-contiguous stream fragments to exceed advertised flow control limits and trigger denial of service through memory exhaustion and CPU consumption during reassembly. The vulnerability is fixed in mvfst v2026.11.09.0 and later.

Affected products
