  • mosquitto (1.4.15-2ubuntu0.18.10.1) cosmic-security; urgency=medium
    
      * SECURITY UPDATE: If Mosquitto is configured to use a password file for
        authentication, any malformed data in the password file will be treated as
        valid. This typically means that the malformed data becomes a username and
        no password. If this occurs, clients can circumvent authentication and get
        access to the broker by using the malformed username. In particular, a blank
        line will be treated as a valid empty username. Other security measures are
        unaffected. Users who have only used the mosquitto_passwd utility to create
        and modify their password files are unaffected by this vulnerability.
        - debian/patches/mosquitto-1.4.x-cve-2018-12551.patch: this fix introduces
          more stringent parsing tests on the password file data.
        - CVE-2018-12551
      * SECURITY UPDATE: If an ACL file is empty, or has only blank lines or
        comments, then mosquitto treats the ACL file as not being defined, which
        means that no topic access is denied. Although denying access to all
        topics is not a useful configuration, this behaviour is unexpected and
        could lead to access being incorrectly granted in some circumstances.
        - debian/patches/mosquitto-1.4.x-cve-2018-12550.patch: this fix ensures
          that if an ACL file is defined but no rules are defined, then access will
          be denied.
        - CVE-2018-12550
      * SECURITY UPDATE: If a client publishes a retained message to a topic that
        they have access to, and then their access to that topic is revoked, the
        retained message will still be delivered to future subscribers. This
        behaviour may be undesirable in some applications, so a configuration
        option `check_retain_source` has been introduced to enforce checking of
        the retained message source on publish.
        - debian/patches/mosquitto-1.4.8-cve-2018-12546.patch: this patch stores
          the originator of the retained message, so security checking can be
          carried out before re-publishing. The complexity of the patch is due to
          the need to save this information across broker restarts.
        - CVE-2018-12546
