CVE-2024-25679 - Vulnerability Details - OpenCVE

In PQUIC before 5bde5bb, retention of unused initial encryption keys allows attackers to disrupt a connection with a PSK configuration by sending a CONNECTION_CLOSE frame that is encrypted via the initial key computed. Network traffic sniffing is needed as part of exploitation.
