NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rabbitmq-server4.3 package and not the rabbitmq-server4.3 package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to versions 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0, validate_partitions only checks that the requested partition count is at least 1, with no upper bound. A large count such as lists:seq(0, 500000000) allocates roughly 8GB. Preconditions include The rabbitmq_stream_management plugin must be enabled. The caller needs the management tag and access to the target vhost.. This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0.
