medium Nessus Plugin ID 99664

Language:

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache ActiveMQ running on the remote host is 5.x prior to 5.14.5. It is, therefore, affected by an unspecified flaw in ControlCommand handling by the ActiveMQConnection::onControlCommand() function within file ActiveMQConnection.java. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache ActiveMQ version 5.14.5 or later.
