Eclipse Wakaama Unbounded Memory Allocation in CoAP Block1 Handler
CVE-2026-58465 Published on July 2, 2026
Eclipse Wakaama CoAP Block1 Handler Unbounded Memory Allocation DoS
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.
