Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-05-29 14:58:54 UTC
From ${URL} :

A vulnerability exists in Mosquitto versions 0.15 to 1.4.11.

Pattern based ACLs can be bypassed by clients that set their username/client id to ‘#’ or ‘+’. This allows locally or remotely connected clients to access MQTT topics that they do have the rights to. 
The same issue may be present in third party authentication/access control plugins for Mosquitto.

The vulnerability only comes into effect where pattern based ACLs are in use, or potentially where third party plugins are in use.

The most current version in the tree is 1.4.14 and only versions before 1.4.12 are vulnerable. Since nothing is left this bug is resolved.

The stabilization was done in bug 625290 by the way.
