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

  - Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ. During unmarshalling of
    OpenWire commands the size value of buffers was not properly validated which could lead to excessive
    memory allocation and be exploited to cause a denial of service (DoS) by depleting process memory, thereby
    affecting applications and services that rely on the availability of the ActiveMQ broker when not using
    mutual TLS connections. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: from 6.0.0 before 6.1.6, from 5.18.0 before
    5.18.7, from 5.17.0 before 5.17.7, before 5.16.8. ActiveMQ 5.19.0 is not affected. Users are recommended
    to upgrade to version 6.1.6+, 5.19.0+, 5.18.7+, 5.17.7, or 5.16.8 or which fixes the issue. Existing users
    may implement mutual TLS to mitigate the risk on affected brokers. (CVE-2025-27533)

The version of Apache ActiveMQ running on the remote host is 5.16.x prior to 5.16.8, 5.17.x prior to 5.17.7, 5.18.x prior to 5.18.7, or 6.x prior to 6.1.6. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulneraiblity:

  - During unmarshalling of OpenWire commands the size value of buffers was not properly validated which could lead to     excessive memory allocation and be exploited to cause a denial of service (DoS) by depleting process memory,     thereby affecting applications and services that rely on the availability of the ActiveMQ broker when not using     mutual TLS connections. (CVE-2025-27533)

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

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-4222 advisory.

    Package        : activemq     Version        : 5.16.1-1+deb11u2     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-27533     Debian Bug     : 1104933

    It was discovered that an Out Of Memory error may occur when attempting     to initialize a huge byte array, even when maxFrameSize is set.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version     5.16.1-1+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your activemq packages.

    For the detailed security status of activemq please refer to     its security tracker page at:

The version of IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (formerly IBM Rational DOORS) installed on the remote host is 9.6.1.1 prior or equal to 9.6.1.13 or 9.7.2.1 prior or equal to 9.7.2.11. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 7279145 advisory.

  - IBM DOORS Web Access do not limit the length of a connection which could allow for a Slowloris HTTP denial     of service attack to take place. This can cause the web server to become unresponsive. (CVE-2024-25039)

  - IBM DOORS Web Access is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated     attacker to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality     potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. (CVE-2025-0152)

  - IBM DOORS Web Access could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information when a detailed     technical error message is returned in the browser. This information could be used in further attacks     against the system. (CVE-2020-4984)
