DescriptionNVD

Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ All, Apache ActiveMQ MQTT.

The fix for "CVE-2025-66168: MQTT control packet remaining length field is not properly validated" was only applied to 5.19.2 (and future 5.19.x) releases but was missed for all 6.0.0+ versions.

This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: from 6.0.0 before 6.2.4; Apache ActiveMQ All: from 6.0.0 before 6.2.4; Apache ActiveMQ MQTT: from 6.0.0 before 6.2.4.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.4 or a 5.19.x version starting with 5.19.2 or later (currently latest is 5.19.5), which fixes the issue.

AnalysisAI

Remote denial-of-service in Apache ActiveMQ 6.0.0 through 6.2.3 allows unauthenticated network attackers to crash the MQTT broker via malformed control packets. An integer overflow in the MQTT protocol handler's remaining length field validation enables resource exhaustion without authentication. …

Sign in for full analysis, threat intelligence, and remediation guidance.

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all ActiveMQ instances running versions 6.0.0-6.2.3 via inventory scan and document MQTT broker exposure. Within 7 days: Implement network-level access controls to restrict MQTT protocol traffic (port 1883/8883) to trusted sources only, and monitor ActiveMQ logs for malformed packet attempts. …
