Technical details
The vulnerability is a resource leak in the Cancel function of internal/taskexec/distributed_manager.go: when CreateReader is called to create an event-queue reader, early exit paths (context-encoding failures, task-store errors, or already-canceled states) return without closing the reader, leaving the reader and its registration behind. This can be triggered remotely by an attacker invoking Cancel operations, causing cumulative reader leaks that exhaust system memory and event-queue capacity. The fix ensures all early-return paths after CreateReader properly close the reader via safeCloseReader.
