NVD description

FlashMQ is a MQTT broker/server, designed for multi-CPU environments. Prior to version 1.26.1, a remote client with retained publish permission can crash the FlashMQ broker when both set_retained_message_defer_timeout and set_retained_message_defer_timeout_spread are configured to non-default values, resulting in denial of service. If anonymous retained publishing is allowed, no authentication is required; otherwise, the attacker needs the corresponding publish permission. This issue has been patched in version 1.26.1.
