Summary

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.6.

A flaw was found in RabbitMQ. The stream listener in RabbitMQ does not properly enforce frame-size limits during authentication and before negotiation.

This allows an unauthenticated remote client to send oversized stream frames, which can consume excessive broker memory. This can lead to a denial of service (DoS) condition, making the service unavailable to legitimate users.

Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-770.

Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Hardened Images. Red Hat lists Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.2; Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1; Red Hat OpenStack Platform 18.0 as not affected.

Red Hat fixing advisory: RHSA-2026:35939, RHSA-2026:35940.
