Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-401: Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime, where the product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse. In Microsoft.Native.Quic.MsQuic.OpenSSL, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.
