NanoMQ 0.24.6 Use-After-Free Leading to Heap Corruption and Broker Crash

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 05.01.2026 Published: 04.03.2026 Updated: 05.03.2026

NanoMQ MQTT Broker (NanoMQ) is an all-around Edge Messaging Platform. In version 0.24.6, by generating a combined traffic pattern of high-frequency publishes and rapid reconnect/kick-out using the same ClientID and massive subscribe/unsubscribe jitter, it is possible to reliably trigger heap memory corruption in the Broker process, causing it to exit immediately with SIGABRT due to free(): invalid pointer. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available.
