The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 26.04 LTS / Pro Realtime 22.04 LTS / Pro Realtime 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8724-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the rabbitmq-c command-line tools only accepted credentials on the command line,     making them visible to other local users through the process list. An attacker could possibly use this to     obtain sensitive credentials. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04     LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-35789)

    It was discovered that rabbitmq-c did not correctly compute AMQP frame lengths, leading to a size_t     underflow. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause rabbitmq-c to crash, resulting in a denial     of service, or possibly expose sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu     16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-44235)

    It was discovered that rabbitmq-c did not properly validate the frame size during the AMQP login     handshake. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a heap buffer overflow, resulting in a     denial of service or possibly the execution of arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS,     Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-44236)

    It was discovered that rabbitmq-c did not correctly validate the length of decoded bytes fields, leading     to an integer overflow in a bounds check on 32-bit systems. A remote attacker controlling a broker, or     able to intercept an unencrypted connection, could possibly use this to cause an out-of-bounds read,     resulting in a denial of service or the exposure of sensitive information. (CVE-2026-59986)

    It was discovered that rabbitmq-c did not validate the body fragment length when serialising an AMQP body     frame with the amqp_send_frame() API. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a heap buffer overflow,     resulting in a denial of service (application crash) or possibly the execution of arbitrary code. This     issue did not affect Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-61547)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4763 advisory.

    Package        : librabbitmq     Version        : 0.10.0-1+deb11u3 0.11.0-1+deb12u3     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-59986 CVE-2026-61547

    Two issues has been found in librabbitmq, AMQP client library and     tools written in C.

    CVE-2026-59986

        The bounds check in librabbitmq/amqp_private.h function overflows         causing out-of-bounds read on 32-bit systems which in turn causes         information disclosure or denial of service.

    CVE-2026-61547

        A heap buffer overflow exists in rabbitmq-c when the public         amqp_send_frame() API is used to serialize an oversized         AMQP_FRAME_BODY. An application that passes an oversized body         frame to amqp_send_frame() can trigger a heap out-of-bounds write,         resulting in process crash and memory corruption.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     0.10.0-1+deb11u3.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version     0.11.0-1+deb12u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your librabbitmq packages.
