CVE-2026-58465Eclipse Wakaama CoAP Block1 Handler Unbounded Memory Allocation DoS
High 7.5
In plain English
A high-severity resource allocation without limits in wakaama from eclipse-wakaama. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.9% (higher than 61% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
Eclipse Wakaama before snapshot/2026-05-26 contains an unbounded memory allocation vulnerability in the CoAP Block1 handler within coap/block.c that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exhaust server memory by sending a sequence of Block1 PUT requests with incrementing block numbers. Attackers can target the registration endpoint over UDP without authentication, causing the server to repeatedly reallocate a growing accumulation buffer by appending each block payload without enforcing any maximum total size limit, resulting in denial of service through memory exhaustion.
