medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 423488

Description

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

 - A Denial of Service vulnerability was found in Apache Qpid Broker-J 7.0.0 in functionality for
 authentication of connections for AMQP protocols 0-8, 0-9, 0-91 and 0-10 when PLAIN or XOAUTH2 SASL
 mechanism is used. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker to crash the broker instance. AMQP
 1.0 and HTTP connections are not affected. An authentication of incoming AMQP connections in Apache Qpid
 Broker-J is performed by special entities called "Authentication Providers". Each Authentication Provider
 can support several SASL mechanisms which are offered to the connecting clients as part of SASL
 negotiation process. The client chooses the most appropriate SASL mechanism for authentication.
 Authentication Providers of following types supports PLAIN SASL mechanism: Plain, PlainPasswordFile,
 SimpleLDAP, Base64MD5PasswordFile, MD5, SCRAM-SHA-256, SCRAM-SHA-1. XOAUTH2 SASL mechanism is supported by
 Authentication Providers of type OAuth2. If an AMQP port is configured with any of these Authentication
 Providers, the Broker may be vulnerable. (CVE-2018-1298)
