Descriptions

Apache Qpid 0.17 and earlier does not properly restrict incoming client connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption) via a large number of incomplete connections.

Apache Qpid v0.17 y anteriores no restringe correctamente las conexiones entrantes de clientes, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio a través de un gran número de conexiones incompletas.
