Summary
Stomper 5e2741e is vulnerable to Denial of Service. When a broker sends data to a client whose TCP connection was already closed by the peer, the server process receives SIGPIPE and immediately terminates, resulting in a denial of service. Any unauthenticated client can trigger the crash by closing the socket at specific points.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can crash the broker, leading to denial of service.
Recommendation
Update Stomper to a patched version and handle SIGPIPE in a non-fatal way.

Stomper 5e2741e is vulnerable to Use-After-Free. When a client sends multiple CONNECT frames on the same TCP connection, and subsequently another client (or a later connection) sends SEND frames to a destination previously subscribed on that connection, the broker may dereference a pointer to a StompStreamSocket object that has already been freed. This results in a heap use-after-free and process crash. Because the protocol does not authenticate or restrict such sequences by default.
- CVE-2026-26449High
In Stomper 5e2741e, when a client sends a SEND frame missing the destination header field, the server triggers a null pointer dereference (or access to invalid memory) while processing the frame, causing the process to crash.
- CVE-2026-26447High
Stomper 5e2741e is vulnerable to Use-After-Free. When a single client repeatedly issues SUBSCRIBE commands for the same destination over one connection and then closes that connection, the broker performs incorrect cleanup of its internal subscription structures. This results in a heap use-after-free during StompClient destruction, causing the broker process to crash. An unauthenticated client can exploit this to reliably trigger a denial of service.
- CVE-2026-26445Low risk· EPSS 5%
stomper 5e2741e is vulnerable to Denial of Service. A malicious client can send partial STOMP frames and keep the TCP connections open, which, combined with the broker's use of edge-triggered epoll (EPOLLET) and MSG_PEEK in recv(), causes sockets to enter a permanent half-read state. When enough such connections accumulate, the broker stops receiving any further epoll events for those sockets and eventually hangs in epoll_wait, effectively refusing to process new messages.
