CVE-2026-26312 PUBLISHED

Stalwart Mail Server has Out-of-Memory Denial of Service via Malformed Nested MIME Messages

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 13.02.2026 Published: 19.02.2026 Updated: 19.02.2026

Stalwart is a mail and collaboration server. A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in Stalwart Mail Server versions 0.13.0 through 0.15.4 where accessing a specially crafted email containing malformed nested message/rfc822 MIME parts via IMAP or JMAP causes excessive CPU and memory consumption, potentially leading to an out-of-memory condition and server crash. The malformed structure causes the mail-parser crate to produce cyclical references in its parsed representation, which Stalwart then follows indefinitely. Version 0.15.5 contains a patch.
