NVD Description

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

Eclipse Mosquitto 1.5.x before 1.5.5 allows ACL bypass: if the option per_listener_settings was set to true, and the default listener was in use, and the default listener specified an acl_file, then the acl file was being ignored.
