NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mosquitto package and not the mosquitto package as distributed by RHEL.
In Eclipse Mosquito before and including 2.0.5, establishing a connection to the mosquitto server without sending data causes the EPOLLOUT event to be added, which results excessive CPU consumption. This could be used by a malicious actor to perform denial of service type attack. This issue is fixed in 2.0.6
