Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2020-03-23 15:18:33 UTC
A vulnerability was found in Netty in the way it handles the amount of data it compress and decompress. Compression/Decompression Codecs should enforce memory allocation size limits to avoid OOME or exhaust the memory pool.

Comment 9 Jonathan Christison 2020-04-01 15:15:42 UTC
The AMQ Broker has been marked as having a low impact, this is because although netty is built and distributed with the AMQ broker its actual use in the product doesn't use the decompression functionality provided by netty (jzlib)

Comment 15 Jonathan Christison 2020-04-21 09:12:39 UTC
AMQ Online has been marked as having a low impact, this is because although netty distributed with AMQ Online its actual use in the product doesn't use the decompression functionality provided by netty (jzlib)

Comment 27 Yadnyawalk Tale 2020-07-31 06:37:51 UTC
Statement:

In OpenShift Container Platform end users don't have direct access to send requests to ElasticSearch. A user could need access to the ElasticSearch service on the internal cluster network in order to be able to send malicious requests to it.


Third party scanners flagging Red Hat Satellite due to availability of the higher version packages in Red Hat AMQ Clients (through errata RHSA-2020:2605) compare to the qpid packages from Satellite Tools repository. qpid dependency fixed in errata RHSA-2020:2605 was for Red Hat AMQ Clients and it doesn't necessarily mean that packages from Satellite Tools are affected. These are two different products with different architecture and code-base. Updating the packages from any other repository than the Satellite-tools repository is not recommended for Satellite Customers. 

Red Hat Satellite 6.7 and earlier ship affected version of netty, however, there is no external connection being exposed and it is used by only Artemis to open an internal connection within the JVM. Since netty does not come into contact with untrusted data, vulnerability is not exposed in product code and there is no breach of Confidentiality, Integrity or Availability expected from this vulnerability. We may update the netty and its dependency in a future release.

More information regarding Satellite related packages can be found on KCS: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5200591
