Rabbitmq server: RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. (CVE-2026-67408)
Description
CVE-2026-67408 is a denial of service vulnerability in RabbitMQ server versions prior to 4.3.3, 4.2.9, and 4.1.11. It allows an authenticated low-privileged management user with access to a virtual host but without configure, write, or read permissions to cause excessive memory allocation via crafted PUT requests to the stream management API, leading to node crashes in memory-limited environments.

Technical Analysis
RabbitMQ versions 4.1.0 up to but not including 4.3.3, 4.2.9, and 4.1.11 have a vulnerability in the stream management super-stream binding keys allocation. An authenticated management user with limited privileges can send a PUT request to /api/stream/super-streams/{vhost}/{name} containing a binding-keys field with a large comma-separated string. The server parses this string and allocates memory for the resulting stream-name list before verifying permissions, enabling a low-privileged user to cause large transient memory allocations. This can crash RabbitMQ nodes running in memory-constrained containers, as demonstrated by a 4.5 MB JSON payload causing a container with 768 MB memory to exit.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user with management access to a specific virtual host but without full permissions can cause a denial of service by crashing the RabbitMQ node due to excessive memory consumption. This impacts availability but does not affect confidentiality or integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
This issue is fixed in RabbitMQ versions 4.3.3, 4.2.9, and 4.1.11. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated by the vendor advisory.
