Versions 2.0.9, 1.6.14, and 1.5.11 of Mosquitto have been released. These are bugfix releases and include a minor security fix.

2.0.9

Security

  • If an empty or invalid CA file was provided to the client library for verifying the remote broker, then the initial connection would fail but subsequent connections would succeed without verifying the remote broker certificate. Closes #2130.
  • If an empty or invalid CA file was provided to the broker for verifying the remote broker for an outgoing bridge connection then the initial connection would fail but subsequent connections would succeed without verifying the remote broker certificate. Closes #2130.

Broker

  • Fix encrypted bridge connections incorrectly connecting when bridge_cafile is empty or invalid. Closes #2130.
  • Fix tls_version behaviour not matching documentation. It was setting the exact TLS version to use, not the minimium TLS version to use. Closes #2110.
  • Fix messages to $ prefixed topics being rejected. Closes #2111.
  • Fix QoS 0 messages not being delivered when max_queued_bytes was configured. Closes #2123.
  • Fix bridge increasing backoff calculation.
  • Improve handling of invalid combinations of listener address and bind interface configurations. Closes #2081.
  • Fix max_keepalive option not applying to clients connecting with keepalive set to 0. Closes #2117.

Client library

  • Fix encrypted connections incorrectly connecting when the CA file passed to mosquitto_tls_set() is empty or invalid. Closes #2130.
  • Fix connections retrying very rapidly in some situations.

Build

  • Fix cmake epoll detection.
