Description

https://github.com/CHERIoT-Platform/network-stack/blob/d7f260d7d52c621677d6c70568bb1bc629d9b328/include/mqtt.h#L149-L151

That sounds like a UAF/UAR issue that shouldn't be an information leak on CHERIoT? Do I misunderstand?

Research direction

The issue points to include/mqtt.h lines 149-151. Read that comment in the context of the MQTT API, then investigate whether the stated UAF/UAR information-leak concern applies on CHERIoT. Done means resolving the question and, if needed, correcting or clarifying the documentation.
