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 versions 1.5 to 1.5.2 inclusive, if a message is published to Mosquitto that has a topic starting with $, but that is not $SYS, e.g. $test/test, then an assert is triggered that should otherwise not be reachable and Mosquitto will exit.
