Vulnerability Insight:
Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in mosquitto, a MQTT compatible message broker, which may be abused for a denial of service attack.

CVE-2021-34434

In Eclipse Mosquitto when using the dynamic security plugin, if the ability for a client to make subscriptions on a topic is revoked when a durable client is offline, then existing subscriptions for that client are not revoked.

CVE-2023-0809

Fix excessive memory being allocated based on malicious initial packets that are not CONNECT packets.

CVE-2023-3592

Fix memory leak when clients send v5 CONNECT packets with a will message that contains invalid property types.

CVE-2023-28366

The broker in Eclipse Mosquitto 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.

Additionally CVE-2021-41039 has been fixed for Debian 11 Bullseye.

CVE-2021-41039

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.11-1.2+deb12u1.
