NanoMQ MQTT Broker (NanoMQ) is an all-around Edge Messaging Platform. In NanoMQ version 0.24.6, after enabling auth.http_auth (HTTP authentication), when a client connects to the broker using MQTT CONNECT without providing username/password, and the configuration params uses the placeholders %u / %P (e.g., username="%u", password="%P"), the HTTP request construction phase enters auth_http.c:set_data(). This results in calling strlen() on a NULL pointer, causing a SIGSEGV crash. This crash can be triggered remotely, resulting in a denial of service. This issue has been patched in version 0.24.7.

NanoMQ MQTT Broker (NanoMQ) is an all-around Edge Messaging Platform. Prior to version 0.24.8, NanoMQ’s MQTT-over-WebSocket transport can be crashed by sending an MQTT packet with a deliberately large Remaining Length in the fixed header while providing a much shorter actual payload. The code path copies Remaining Length bytes without verifying that the current receive buffer contains that many bytes, resulting in an out-of-bounds read (ASAN reports OOB / crash). This is remotely triggerable over the WebSocket listener. This issue has been patched in version 0.24.8.
