Descriptions

Apache ActiveMQ 5.x before 5.13.0 does not restrict the classes that can be serialized in the broker, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java Message Service (JMS) ObjectMessage object.

Apache ActiveMQ 5.x en versiones anteriores a 5.13.0 no restringe las clases que pueden ser serializadas en el broker, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un objeto ObjectMessage Java Message Service (JMS) serializado manipulado.

It was found that use of a JMS ObjectMessage does not safely handle user supplied data when deserializing objects. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application using a JMS ObjectMessage.
