Package : mosquitto
CVE ID : CVE-2021-34434 CVE-2023-0809 CVE-2023-3592 CVE-2023-28366
CVE-2021-41039
Debian Bug : 993400 1001028

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

An MQTT v5 client connecting with a large number of user-property  
properties could cause excessive CPU usage, leading to a loss of  
performance and possible denial of service.

For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed
in version 2.0.11-1+deb11u1.

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

We recommend that you upgrade your mosquitto packages.
