CVE-2026-77403

A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the AMQP client's connection negotiation logic. The AMQP specification explicitly mandates a strict minimum frame size of 4096 bytes to prevent pathological packet fragmentation. While the library defines a `frameMinSize = 4096` constant, the connection negotiation loop fails to enforce this boundary, blindly accepting whatever maximum frame size (`FrameMax`) the server advertises during the handshake. If a client connects to a malicious or compromised AMQP broker that advertises an extremely low `FrameMax` (such as 1 byte), the negotiation succeeds. Consequently, every subsequent message transmission is forced to splinter into thousands or millions of single-byte frames, causing massive CPU overhead, thread contention, and a near-instantaneous application freeze. ---
