Fedora 33: FEDORA-2021-2ab613b45b Critical: Mosquitto Memory Leak

fedora
Calendar Grey June 18, 2021
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Important patch for Fedora's Mosquitto broker addresses a memory overflow triggered by harmful MQTT v5 CONNECT packets.
Update to 1.6.15 Security If an authenticated client connected with MQTT v5 sent a crafted CONNECT message to the broker a memory leak would occur

Summary

Mosquitto is an open source message broker that implements the MQ Telemetry

Transport protocol version 3.1 and 3.1.1 MQTT provides a lightweight method

of carrying out messaging using a publish/subscribe model. This makes it

suitable for "machine to machine" messaging such as with low power sensors

or mobile devices such as phones, embedded computers or micro-controllers

like the Arduino.

Update to 1.6.15 Security If an authenticated client connected with MQTT v5

sent a crafted CONNECT message to the broker a memory leak would occur. Affects

versions 1.6 to 2.0.10 inclusive.
