CVE-2019-11779 [MEDIUM] CWE-754 CVE-2019-11779: In Eclipse Mosquitto 1.5.0 to 1.6.5 inclusive, if a malicious MQTT client sends a SUBSCRIBE packet c In Eclipse Mosquitto 1.5.0 to 1.6.5 inclusive, if a malicious MQTT client sends a SUBSCRIBE packet containing a topic that consists of approximately 65400 or more '/' characters, i.e. the topic hierarchy separator, then a stack overflow will occur.

CVE-2019-11778 [MEDIUM] CWE-416 CVE-2019-11778: If an MQTT v5 client connects to Eclipse Mosquitto versions 1.6.0 to 1.6.4 inclusive, sets a last wi If an MQTT v5 client connects to Eclipse Mosquitto versions 1.6.0 to 1.6.4 inclusive, sets a last will and testament, sets a will delay interval, sets a session expiry interval, and the will delay interval is set longer than the session expiry interval, then a use after free error occurs, which has the potential to cause a crash in some situations.

CVE-2018-12551 [HIGH] CWE-703 CVE-2018-12551: When Eclipse Mosquitto version 1.0 to 1.5.5 (inclusive) is configured to use a password file for aut When Eclipse Mosquitto version 1.0 to 1.5.5 (inclusive) is configured to use a password file for authentication, any malformed data in the password file will be treated as valid. This typically means that the malformed data becomes a username and no password. If this occurs, clients can circumvent authentication and get access to the broker by using t

CVE-2017-7655 [HIGH] CWE-476 CVE-2017-7655: In Eclipse Mosquitto version from 1.0 to 1.4.15, a Null Dereference vulnerability was found in the M In Eclipse Mosquitto version from 1.0 to 1.4.15, a Null Dereference vulnerability was found in the Mosquitto library which could lead to crashes for those applications using the library.

CVE-2018-12550 [HIGH] CWE-440 CVE-2018-12550: When Eclipse Mosquitto version 1.0 to 1.5.5 (inclusive) is configured to use an ACL file, and that A When Eclipse Mosquitto version 1.0 to 1.5.5 (inclusive) is configured to use an ACL file, and that ACL file is empty, or contains only comments or blank lines, then Mosquitto will treat this as though no ACL file has been defined and use a default allow policy. The new behaviour is to have an empty ACL file mean that all access is denied, which is not

CVE-2018-12546 [MEDIUM] CWE-284 CVE-2018-12546: In Eclipse Mosquitto version 1.0 to 1.5.5 (inclusive) when a client publishes a retained message to In Eclipse Mosquitto version 1.0 to 1.5.5 (inclusive) when a client publishes a retained message to a topic, then has its access to that topic revoked, the retained message will still be published to clients that subscribe to that topic in the future. In some applications this may result in clients being able cause effects that would otherwise not be

CVE-2018-12543 [HIGH] CWE-617 CVE-2018-12543: In Eclipse Mosquitto versions 1.5 to 1.5.2 inclusive, if a message is published to Mosquitto that ha In Eclipse Mosquitto versions 1.5 to 1.5.2 inclusive, if a message is published to Mosquitto that has a topic starting with $, but that is not $SYS, e.g. $test/test, then an assert is triggered that should otherwise not be reachable and Mosquitto will exit.

CVE-2017-7654 [HIGH] CWE-401 CVE-2017-7654: In Eclipse Mosquitto 1.4.15 and earlier, a Memory Leak vulnerability was found within the Mosquitto In Eclipse Mosquitto 1.4.15 and earlier, a Memory Leak vulnerability was found within the Mosquitto Broker. Unauthenticated clients can send crafted CONNECT packets which could cause a denial of service in the Mosquitto Broker.

CVE-2017-7653 [MEDIUM] CWE-20 CVE-2017-7653: The Eclipse Mosquitto broker up to version 1.4.15 does not reject strings that are not valid UTF-8. The Eclipse Mosquitto broker up to version 1.4.15 does not reject strings that are not valid UTF-8. A malicious client could cause other clients that do reject invalid UTF-8 strings to disconnect themselves from the broker by sending a topic string which is not valid UTF-8, and so cause a denial of service for the clients.

CVE-2017-7652 [HIGH] CWE-789 CVE-2017-7652: In Eclipse Mosquitto 1.4.14, if a Mosquitto instance is set running with a configuration file, then In Eclipse Mosquitto 1.4.14, if a Mosquitto instance is set running with a configuration file, then sending a HUP signal to server triggers the configuration to be reloaded from disk. If there are lots of clients connected so that there are no more file descriptors/sockets available (default limit typically 1024 file descriptors on Linux), then opening t

CVE-2017-7651 [HIGH] CWE-789 CVE-2017-7651: In Eclipse Mosquitto 1.4.14, a user can shutdown the Mosquitto server simply by filling the RAM memo In Eclipse Mosquitto 1.4.14, a user can shutdown the Mosquitto server simply by filling the RAM memory with a lot of connections with large payload. This can be done without authentications if occur in connection phase of MQTT protocol.
