This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Cesanta Mongoose. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
An integer overflow in parse_mqtt in mongoose.c in Cesanta Mongoose 6.16 allows an attacker to achieve remote DoS (infinite loop), or possibly cause an out-of-bounds write, by sending a crafted MQTT protocol packet.
