Language:
Description
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202401-09 (Eclipse Mosquitto: Multiple Vulnerabilities)- In Mosquitto before 2.0.16, excessive memory is allocated based on malicious initial packets that are not CONNECT packets. (CVE-2023-0809)
- In Mosquitto before 2.0.16, a memory leak occurs when clients send v5 CONNECT packets with a will message that contains invalid property types. (CVE-2023-3592)
- The broker in Eclipse Mosquitto 1.3.2 through 2.x before 2.0.16 has a memory leak that can be abused remotely when a client sends many QoS 2 messages with duplicate message IDs, and fails to respond to PUBREC commands. This occurs because of mishandling of EAGAIN from the libc send function.
(CVE-2023-28366)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
All Eclipse Mosquitto users should upgrade to the latest version:# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=app-misc/mosquitto-2.0.17
