CVE-2025-63235
Last modified
CVE-2025-63235 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In sol commit 373d848 (2024-12-12), the broker does not fully release resources when handling malformed or duplicate CONNECT packets. When clients send invalid CONNECT packets - either due to repeated attempts or failed authentication - the server may silently drop the connection or send a CONNACK but fail to close the session or deallocate internal resources.
Description
In sol commit 373d848 (2024-12-12), the broker does not fully release resources when handling malformed or duplicate CONNECT packets. When clients send invalid CONNECT packets - either due to repeated attempts or failed authentication - the server may silently drop the connection or send a CONNACK but fail to close the session or deallocate internal resources. This behavior allows an attacker to create numerous half-open connections that consume memory and file descriptors indefinitely, potentially triggering the Linux OOM killer and causing a denial of service.
