Reject malformed ECH outer extension references in crypto/tls

view advisory published 2026-10-16Licence: per source

Multiple ECH outer extension references are not permitted under RFC 9849; previously, a client could send a well-crafted packet that could trigger memory exhaustion in the server process by specifying multiple references. We now reject these as malformed and curb the memory amplification vector as a result.
