+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1222461 +++

quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go. Prior to version
0.42.0, an attacker can cause its peer to run out of memory sending a large
number of `NEW_CONNECTION_ID` frames that retire old connection IDs. The
receiver is supposed to respond to each retirement frame with a
`RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID` frame. The attacker can prevent the receiver from
sending out (the vast majority of) these `RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID` frames by
collapsing the peers congestion window (by selectively acknowledging received
packets) and by manipulating the peer's RTT estimate. Version 0.42.0 contains a
patch for the issue. No known workarounds are available.
