Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-39304)

CWE-ID: CWE-703 - Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of TLSv1.3 KeyUpdate messages in ActiveMQ NIO SSL transports when processing client-triggered TLSv1.3 handshake KeyUpdates. A remote attacker can rapidly trigger KeyUpdate messages to cause a denial of service.

Only TLSv1.3 is vulnerable to out-of-memory exhaustion; earlier TLS versions may cause a connection hang instead.

2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-40046)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow or wraparound in the MQTT control packet remaining length field handling when parsing MQTT control packets. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted MQTT control packet to cause a denial of service.
