CVE-2016-3088
Description
From CVE.org
The Fileserver web application in Apache ActiveMQ 5.x before 5.14.0 allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary files via an HTTP PUT followed by an HTTP MOVE request.
Statement
Red Hat JBoss A-MQ 6.3 , Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6.3, and Red Hat JBoss Fuse Service Works 6.0.0 do not provide the vulnerable component and are not affected by this flaw. Red Hat JBoss A-MQ 6.2.1 and Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6.2.1 disable the vulnerable component and as such are not vulnerable to this flaw. The fileserver component was first disabled in A-MQ 6.2.0 and Fuse 6.2.0. Users of older, unsupported versions of these products are strongly advised to observe the mitigation provided on this page.
Mitigation
Users are advised to use other FTP and HTTP based file servers for transferring blob messages. Fileserver web application SHOULD NOT be used in older version of the broker and it should be disabled (it has been disabled by default since 5.12.0). This can be done by removing (commenting out) the following lines from conf\jetty.xml file
<bean class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
<property name="contextPath" value="/fileserver" />
<property name="resourceBase" value="${activemq.home}/webapps/fileserver" />
<property name="logUrlOnStart" value="true" />
<property name="parentLoaderPriority" value="true" />
</bean>
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
