This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 2.0, rated LOW. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

NanoMQ is an MQTT broker. Prior to 0.24.14, the NanoMQ client function nni_mqtt_msg_decode_unsubscribe() in nng/src/supplemental/mqtt/mqtt_codec.c does not handle a failed read_uint16() while counting topics in a malformed UNSUBSCRIBE packet. A zero-length topic followed by trailing data can leave buf.curpos unchanged while topic_count continues to increase, allowing a malicious MQTT broker to hang a connecting MQTT 3.1.1 client, consume CPU and memory, and repeatedly deny service when automatic reconnection is enabled. The broker-side nmq_unsubinfo_decode path is not affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.24.14.
