Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that RabbitMQ, an implementation of the AMQP protocol, didn't correctly validate MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport) connection authentication. This allowed anyone to login to an existing user account without having to provide a password.

Solution

Upgrade the rabbitmq-server packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.5-1.1+deb8u1.
