How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:9 podman-gvproxy to version 2:4.6.1-7.el9_3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream podman-gvproxy package and not the podman-gvproxy package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

QUIC connections do not set an upper bound on the amount of data buffered when reading post-handshake messages, allowing a malicious QUIC connection to cause unbounded memory growth. With fix, connections now consistently reject messages larger than 65KiB in size.
