CVE-2026-102464: Eclipse Vert.x MQTT MqttClient Memory Exhaustion Vulnerability

Short explanation

The CVE-2026-102464 vulnerability in the Eclipse Vert.x vertx-mqtt component allows a malicious MQTT broker to withhold QoS 2 handshake responses, leading to unbounded memory growth and out-of-memory terminations.

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability can cause affected Vert.x MQTT client processes to consume excessive memory, leading to service degradation or crashes.

What should be done?

  • Follow vendor advisories as the patch status is currently unknown
  • Monitor official announcements for component updates
Chain of evidence and sources2 verified claims

Eclipse Vert.x MqttClient, gelen QoS 2 PUBLISH mesajlarını qos2inbound haritasında saklar ve bu haritanın boyut sınırı yoktur.

Eksik PUBREL paketleri, Vert.x sürecinde sınırsız bellek büyümesine ve bellek aşımı nedeniyle sonlandırmaya yol açabilir.

Show the technical text from the sources

In Eclipse Vert.x versions [4.0.0, 4.5.34] or [5.0.0,5.0.12] or [5.1.0,5.1.9] or [5.2.0, 5.2.0], the Eclipse Vert.x MQTT (vertx-mqtt) MqttClient stores every inbound QoS 2 PUBLISH message received from the broker in an internal map (qos2inbound) while awaiting the corresponding PUBREL packet to complete the QoS 2 handshake. This map has no size limit; the maxInflightQueue option is enforced only on the outbound publish path and does not constrain inbound message retention. A malicious or compromised MQTT broker can exploit this by sending QoS 2 PUBLISH messages with distinct packet identifiers and withholding the PUBREL responses. Each incomplete handshake causes the client to retain the full publish message (topic, payload, and metadata) indefinitely, leading to unbounded memory growth in the Vert.x process. This can degrade the MQTT-consuming application or cause out-of-memory termination. The impacted component is io.vertx:vertx-mqtt.
