SCA: security update for org.apache.qpid:qpid-broker (GHSA-269m-695x-j34p)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 423219

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In Apache Qpid Broker-J 0.18 through 0.32, if the broker is configured with different authentication
providers on different ports one of which is an HTTP port, then the broker can be tricked by a remote
unauthenticated attacker connecting to the HTTP port into using an authentication provider that was
configured on a different port. The attacker still needs valid credentials with the authentication
provider on the spoofed port. This becomes an issue when the spoofed port has weaker authentication
protection (e.g., anonymous access, default accounts) and is normally protected by firewall rules or
similar which can be circumvented by this vulnerability. AMQP ports are not affected. Versions 6.0.0 and
newer are not affected. (CVE-2017-15702)
