CVE-2016-3088 - ActiveMQ Fileserver web application vulnerabilities

Severity: Important

Vendor:

The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected:

Apache ActiveMQ 5.0.0 - 5.13.2

Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in the Apache ActiveMQ 
Fileserver web application. These are similar to those reported in 
CVE-2015-1830 and can allow attackers to replace web application files with 
malicious code and perform remote code execution on the system.

Mitigation:

Fileserver feature will be completely removed starting with 5.14.0 release. 
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>
