CVE-2026-34183 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in the OpenSSL integrated QUIC stack. A malicious remote QUIC peer can flood a client or server with PATH_CHALLENGE frames, causing the local endpoint to allocate a corresponding PATH_RESPONSE frame for each received challenge. These PATH_RESPONSE allocations are retained until the peer acknowledges receipt. Because a malicious peer can continue sending PATH_CHALLENGE frames while withholding acknowledgements, memory consumption can grow without an effective bound, leading to heap exhaustion. The issue affects OpenSSL QUIC implementations in affected supported branches and is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.
