CVSS 3.0
7.5 highCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2017-7652
In Eclipse Mosquitto 1.4.14, if a Mosquitto instance is set running with a configuration file, then sending a HUP signal to server triggers the configuration to be reloaded from disk. If there are lots of clients connected so that there are no more file descriptors/sockets available (default limit typically 1024 file descriptors on Linux), then opening the configuration file will fail.
