CVE-2022-34916: Improper Input Validation (JNDI Injection) in JMSMessageConsumer

First published: Sun Aug 21 2022(Updated: )

Apache Flume versions 1.4.0 through 1.10.0 are vulnerable to a remote code execution (RCE) attack when a configuration uses a JMS Source with a JNDI LDAP data source URI when an attacker has control of the target LDAP server. This issue is fixed by limiting JNDI to allow only the use of the java protocol or no protocol.
