Summary

Apache ActiveMQ and ActiveMQ Broker contain a denial of service via OOM vulnerability. An authenticated OpenWire client that sends a ConsumerInfo for a temporary queue/topic owned by another connection is rejected with InvalidDestinationException, but the rejected Subscription is left behind in the region's subscriptions map. Repeating the request leaks broker heap until OOM because the broker does not clean up the rejected subscriptions in the map. This affects Apache ActiveMQ from 6.0.0 before 6.3.3 and before 5.19.12, and ActiveMQ Broker in the same ranges.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated attacker can cause memory exhaustion and broker shutdown, resulting in unavailability of the messaging service. This may disrupt applications relying on ActiveMQ.

Recommendation

Upgrade Apache ActiveMQ and ActiveMQ Broker to version 6.4.0, 6.3.3, or 5.19.12, which fixes the issue. Monitor broker memory usage and limit authenticated OpenWire client access to what is necessary.
