Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A Denial of Service vulnerability was found in Apache Qpid Broker-J versions 6.0.0-7.0.6 (inclusive) and 7.1.0 which allows an unauthenticated attacker to crash the broker instance by sending specially crafted commands using AMQP protocol versions below 1.0 (AMQP 0-8, 0-9, 0-91 and 0-10). Users of Apache Qpid Broker-J versions 6.0.0-7.0.6 (inclusive) and 7.1.0 utilizing AMQP protocols 0-8, 0-9, 0-91, 0-10 must upgrade to Qpid Broker-J versions 7.0.7 or 7.1.1 or later.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

A Denial of Service vulnerability in Apache Qpid Broker-J versions 6.0.0-7.0.6 and 7.1.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to crash the broker by sending specially crafted commands via AMQP protocols 0-8, 0-9, 0-91, and 0-10 (versions below 1.0).

MitigationUpgrade to Qpid Broker-J version 7.0.7 or 7.1.1 or later; alternatively, disable AMQP protocols below 1.0 if immediate upgrade is not feasible.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Qpid Broker-J version
    Check the broker startup logs, management interface, or inspect the qpid-boot*.jar file name in the installation directory for the version number
    Affected if Version is 6.0.0 through 7.0.6 inclusive, or exactly 7.1.0
  2. Verify AMQP protocol bindings in broker configuration
    Open the broker configuration XML file (typically in etc/config.xml or etc/broker.xml) and search for acceptor or protocol binding definitions; look for references to 'amqp0-8', 'amqp0-9', 'amqp0-91', or 'amqp0-10'
    Affected if Any acceptor is configured to accept AMQP protocol versions 0-8, 0-9, 0-91, or 0-10
  3. Check open ports for legacy AMQP listeners
    Run 'netstat -an' or 'ss -an' on the broker host and look for ports configured to accept the legacy AMQP protocols; cross-reference with the configuration from step 2
    Affected if The broker is listening on ports configured for AMQP protocols below 1.0 (versions 0-8, 0-9, 0-91, or 0-10)

A broker is vulnerable if it runs version 6.0.0-7.0.6 or 7.1.0 AND has any AMQP protocol 0-8, 0-9, 0-91, or 0-10 acceptor enabled and reachable.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 7.0.6
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to Qpid Broker-J version 7.0.7 or 7.1.1 or later; alternatively, disable AMQP protocols below 1.0 if immediate upgrade is not feasible.
