CVE-2017-7651 [HIGH] CVE-2017-7651 mosquitto: memory exhaustion through multiple crafted CONNECT packets
CVE-2017-7651 mosquitto: memory exhaustion through multiple crafted CONNECT packets
A flaw was found in mosquitto affecting all versions up to 1.4.14 inclusive. Unauthenticated clients can send a crafted CONNECT packet which causes large amounts of memory use in the broker. If multiple clients do this, an out of memory situation can occur and the system may become unresponsive or the broker will be killed by the operating system.

CVE-2017-7652 [HIGH] CVE-2017-7652 mosquitto: configuration reload fails when no free sockets/file descriptors are available
CVE-2017-7652 mosquitto: configuration reload fails when no free sockets/file descriptors are available
A flaw was found in mosquitto affecting versions from 1.0 to 1.4.14 inclusive. If the broker has exhausted all of its free sockets/file descriptors and then a SIGHUP signal is received to trigger reloading of the configuration, then the reloading will fail. This results in many of the configuration options, including security options, being set to their default value. This means that authorization and access control may no longer be in place.
