Summary
Yamux vulnerable to remote Panic via malformed Data frame with SYN set and len = 262145
Details

Summary

The Rust implementation of Yamux can panic when processing a crafted inbound Data frame that sets SYN and uses a body length greater than DEFAULT_CREDIT (e.g. 262145). On the first packet of a new inbound stream, stream state is created and a receiver is queued before oversized-body validation completes. When validation fails, the temporary stream is dropped and cleanup may call remove(...).expect("stream not found"), triggering a panic in the connection state machine. This is remotely reachable over a normal Yamux session and does not require authentication. kind of vulnerability is it? Who is

Attack Scenario

An attacker that can establish a Yamux session with a target node can crash the target by sending a single validly encoded Yamux Data|SYN frame with an oversized body:

  1. Establish a standard authenticated transport session that negotiates Yamux.
  2. Send one Yamux frame with:
    • Tag = Data
    • Flags = SYN
    • StreamId = 1 (or any new inbound stream id)
    • Length = DEFAULT_CREDIT + 1 (e.g. 262145)
    • Body of matching size This can trigger a panic (stream not found) and terminate the process, depending on host application panic policy.

Patches

Users should upgrade to yamux v0.13.10
