It was discovered that Mosquitto incorrectly handled certain specially crafted input and network packets. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
