Lifecycle Timeline
3Description PRE-NVD
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Apache ActiveMQ's AMQP NIO connector allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exhaust the NIO thread pool by sending a crafted negative frame size value, causing legitimate connection disruption. Affects ActiveMQ versions before 5.19.9 and 6.x before 6.2.8. No known active exploitation, but rated moderate by the vendor due to network exposure.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from improper input validation (CWE-20) in the AMQP protocol implementation over NIO transport. When an AMQP NIO connector processes an incoming frame, lack of proper validation for negative frame sizes leads to immediate thread death, and repeated malicious frames can exhaust the limited NIO thread pool. This affects the activemq-amqp module and the bundled activemq-all distribution, as indicated by CPE strings for org.apache.activemq:activemq-amqp, org.apache.activemq:apache-activemq, and org.apache.activemq:activemq-all.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Apache ActiveMQ 5.19.9, 6.2.8, or 6.3.0, which contain the fix. If patching is not immediately possible, restrict network access to the AMQP NIO connector (default port 5671) to trusted hosts using firewall rules, or disable the AMQP transport if not required. Note that blocking AMQP may disrupt messaging integrations relying on that protocol.
