CVE-2025-63235

codepr sol: Sol: Denial of service via resource exhaustion from malformed CONNECT packets

Published Aug 7, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
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.
