h2o is an HTTP server with support for HTTP/1.x, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3. Prior to commit 8dc37cb, when h2o receives a ClientHello message over TLS or QUIC and it contains a zero-length SNI extension, the h2o server runs over the zero-length hostname while trying to copy the hostname, assuming that it is NULL-terminated. This is a potential denial-of-service attack vector in sense that it might trigger segmentation violation. This issue has been fixed by commit 8dc37cb.

Affected: Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS: h2o, Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS: h2o, Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS: h2o, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: h2o, Ubuntu:Pro:24.04:LTS: dnsdist
