NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mosquitto package and not the mosquitto package as distributed by Debian.

In Eclipse Mosquitto version 2.0.0 to 2.0.9, if an authenticated client that had connected with MQTT v5 sent a crafted CONNACK message to the broker, a NULL pointer dereference would occur.
