Title: Revisiting QUIC attacks: a comprehensive review on QUIC security and a hands-on study.
Authors: Chatzoglou, Efstratios1 (AUTHOR), Kouliaridis, Vasileios1 (AUTHOR), Karopoulos, Georgios2 (AUTHOR), Kambourakis, Georgios1 (AUTHOR) gkamb@aegean.gr

Subjects: Secure Sockets Layer (Computer network protocol), Security management, Computer network security
Abstract: Built on top of UDP, the recently standardized QUIC protocol primarily aims to gradually replace the TCP plus TLS plus HTTP/2 model. For instance, HTTP/3 is designed to exploit QUIC's features, including reduced connection establishment time, multiplexing without head of line blocking, always-encrypted end-to-end security, and others. This work serves two key objectives. Initially, it offers the first to our knowledge full-fledged review on QUIC security as seen through the lens of the relevant literature so far. Second and more importantly, through extensive fuzz testing, we conduct a hands-on security evaluation against the six most popular QUIC-enabled production-grade servers. This assessment identified several effective and practical zero-day vulnerabilities, which, if exploited, can quickly overwhelm the server resources. This finding is a clear indication that the fragmented production-level implementations of this contemporary protocol are not yet mature enough. Overall, the work at hand provides the first wholemeal appraisal of QUIC security from both a literature review and empirical standpoint, and it is therefore foreseen to serve as a reference for future research in this timely area.
