Descriptions

The processControlCommand function in broker/TransportConnection.java in Apache ActiveMQ before 5.11.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (shutdown) via a shutdown command.

Vulnerabilidad en la función processControlCommand en broker/TransportConnection.java en Apache ActiveMQ en versiones anteriores a 5.11.0, permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (apagado) a través de un comando de apagado.

It was found that the Apache ActiveMQ broker exposed a remote shutdown command without requiring any authentication to use it. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to shut down ActiveMQ broker's listener.

It is possible to shutdown an ActiveMQ broker remotely without authentication. The offending network packet is sent to the same port as a message consumer or producer would connect to. If the port is exposed, the attack will be possible. Apache ActiveMQ versions 5.0.0 through 5.10.1 are affected.
