Vulnerability in github.com/rabbitmq/amqp091-go (CVE-2026-77411)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/rabbitmq/amqp091-go (CVE-2026-77411). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via readLongstr. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.13.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
A critical stream desynchronization vulnerability has been identified in the AMQP wire-protocol parser. When parsing a long string (readLongstr) within a table field, providing a length that exceeds the maximum signed 32-bit integer (2^31 - 1, or roughly 2.1 GiB) triggers an improper error-handling condition. The parser abruptly aborts the read and returns a success status ("",nil) without consuming the specified bytes from the underlying network buffer. This causes all subsequent read operations to become misaligned. The parser interprets arbitrary offsets within the remaining payload bytes as valid AMQP frame headers, leading to potential Remote Code Execution (RCE), data injection, or complete connection hijacking.
Vulnerability Details
The vulnerability exists within the bounds-checking logic of the readLongstr function:
// read.go:113-114 — silent no-op return, bytes left in stream
if length > (^uint32(0) >> 1) {
return // returns "", nil, does NOT consume `length` bytes
}
When length evaluates to a value greater than 0x7FFFFFFF:
- The function executes a silent
returnstatement. - Because Go utilizes named or zero-value initialization for unassigned return registers, this yields
"", nil(indicating a successful read of an empty string). - The Critical Failure: The reader's cursor is not advanced by
lengthbytes. The malformed payload remains sitting in the TCP/buffer stream.
Impact
As readTable continues it…
