Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ.

During unmarshalling of OpenWire commands the size value of buffers was not properly validated which could lead to excessive memory allocation and be exploited to cause a denial of service (DoS) by depleting process memory, thereby affecting applications and services that rely on the availability of the ActiveMQ broker when not using mutual TLS connections. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: from 6.0.0 before 6.1.6, from 5.18.0 before 5.18.7, from 5.17.0 before 5.17.7, before 5.16.8. ActiveMQ 5.19.0 is not affected.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.1.6+, 5.19.0+, 5.18.7+, 5.17.7, or 5.16.8 or which fixes the issue.

Existing users may implement mutual TLS to mitigate the risk on affected brokers.

Apache ActiveMQ contains a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability that may allow a remote attacker with network access to a broker to run shell commands by manipulating serialized class types in the OpenWire protocol to cause the broker to instantiate any class on the classpath.

A flaw was found in activemq. When anonymous binds are enabled on the LDAP provider (zero length DN/password) and the LDAP module is configured to make use of these, client credentials are not correctly verified and authentication is effectively bypassed. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

A flaw was found in xstream. An unsafe deserialization of user-supplied XML, in conjunction with relying on the default deny list, allows a remote attacker to perform a variety of attacks including a remote code execution of arbitrary code in the context of the JVM running the XStream application. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

Remedy

Depending on the version of XStream used there are various usage patterns that mitigate this flaw, though we would strongly recommend using the allow list approach if at all possible as there are likely more class combinations the deny list approach may not address. Allow list approach ```java XStream xstream = new XStream(); XStream.setupDefaultSecurity(xstream); xstream.allowTypesByWildcard(new String[] {"com.misc.classname"}) ``` Deny list for XStream 1.4.13 ```java xstream.denyTypes(new String[]{ "javax.imageio.ImageIO$ContainsFilter" }); xstream.denyTypes(new Class[]{ java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class }); ``` Deny list for XStream 1.4.7 -> 1.4.12 ```java xstream.denyTypes(new String[]{ "javax.imageio.ImageIO$ContainsFilter" }); xstream.denyTypes(new Class[]{ java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class, java.beans.EventHandler.class, java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class, java.lang.Void.class, void.class }); ``` Deny list for versions prior to XStream 1.4.7 ```java xstream.registerConverter(new Converter() { public boolean canConvert(Class type) { return type != null && (type == java.beans.EventHandler.class || type == java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class || type == java.lang.Void.class || void.class || type.getName().equals("javax.imageio.ImageIO$ContainsFilter") || Proxy.isProxy(type)); } public Object unmarshal(HierarchicalStreamReader reader, UnmarshallingContext context) { throw new ConversionException("Unsupported type due to security reasons."); } public void marshal(Object source, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer, MarshallingContext context) { throw new ConversionException("Unsupported type due to security reasons."); } }, XStream.PRIORITY_LOW); ```
