GHSA-hfjv-vcp3-39wh: rabbitmq-c: Heap Buffer Overflow in amqp_send_frame() When Serializing Oversized AMQP_FRAME_BODY

Published Nov 10, 2026

Updated

rabbitmq-c is a C-language AMQP client library for RabbitMQ. Prior to version 0.17.0, a heap buffer overflow exists in rabbitmq-c when the public amqpsendframe() API is used to serialize an oversized AMQPFRAMEBODY. The issue occurs because amqpframetobytes() copies frame.payload.bodyfragment.len bytes into the connection outbound buffer without validating that the body fragment fits within the allocated frame buffer. An application that passes an oversized body frame to amqpsendframe() can trigger a heap out-of-bounds write, resulting in process crash and memory corruption. This issue has been patched in version 0.17.0.
