Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input in Eclipse Hono
CVE-2020-27217 · GHSA-9f52-hpvw-v96w
- Affected
- Maven org.eclipse.hono:hono-core <= 1.4.0
- Fixed in
- 1.4.3· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- In Eclipse Hono version 1.3.0 and 1.4.0 the AMQP protocol adapter does not verify the size of AMQP messages received from devices. In particular, a device may send messages that are bigger than the max-message-size that the protocol adapter has indicated during link establishment. While the AMQP 1.0 protocol explicitly disallows a peer to send such messages, a hand crafted AMQP 1.0 client could exploit this behavior in order to send a message of unlimited size to the adapter, eventually causing the adapter to fail with an out of memory exception.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.4.3 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
