1135912: CVE-2014-3612 ActiveMQ JAAS: LDAPLoginModule allows empty password authentication
It was found that if a configured LDAP server supported the unauthenticated authentication mechanism (as described by RFC 4513), the LDAPLoginModule implementation, provided by ActiveMQ Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS), would consider an authentication attempt to be successful for a valid user that provided an empty password. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass the authentication mechanism of an application using LDAPLoginModule, and assume a role of any valid user within that application.
