CVE-2020-35510 · GHSA-p6j8-hgv5-m35g
- Affected
- Maven org.jboss.remoting:jboss-remoting <= 5.0.19.Final
- Fixed in
- 5.0.20.Final· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- A flaw was found in jboss-remoting in versions before 5.0.20.SP1-redhat-00001. A malicious attacker could cause threads to hold up forever in the EJB server by writing a sequence of bytes corresponding to the expected messages of a successful EJB client request, but omitting the ACK messages, or just tamper with jboss-remoting code, deleting the lines that send the ACK message from the EJB client code resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 5.0.20.Final or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
