Cocoamqtt
Monthly
CocoaMQTT library versions prior to 2.2.2 allow remote denial of service when parsing malformed MQTT packets from a broker, causing immediate application crashes on iOS, macOS, and tvOS devices. An attacker or compromised MQTT broker can publish a 4-byte malformed payload with the RETAIN flag to persist it indefinitely, ensuring every vulnerable client that subscribes receives the crash-inducing packet, effectively bricking the application until manual intervention on the broker. The vulnerability requires an authenticated user context (PR:L in CVSS vector) but impacts application availability with high severity; patch version 2.2.2 is available.
