Technical details
The stream protocol negotiates a maximum frame size (FrameMax) during handshake but fails to validate incoming frame declarations against this limit before buffering, allowing resource exhaustion. The vulnerability exists in RabbitMQ versions 3.13.0–3.13.14, 4.0.0–4.0.19, 4.1.0–4.1.10, and 4.2.0–4.2.5 when the stream plugin is enabled. An unauthenticated remote client can trigger excessive memory allocation and denial of service via network-based frame manipulation.
