Description
Background
NATS.io is a high performance open source pub-sub distributed communication technology, built for the cloud, on-premise, IoT, and edge computing.
The nats-server allows hub/spoke topologies using "leafnode" connections by other nats-servers.
Problem Description
A client which can connect to the leafnode port can crash the nats-server with a certain malformed message pre-authentication.
Affected Versions
Any version before v2.12.6 or v2.11.15
Workarounds
- Disable leafnode support if not needed.
- Restrict network connections to your leafnode port, if plausible without compromising the service offered.
