Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2015-05-14 14:08:32 UTC
It was discovered that zeromq, a lightweight messaging kernel, is
susceptible to a protocol downgrade attack on sockets using the ZMTP v3
protocol. This could allow remote attackers to bypass ZMTP v3 security
mechanisms by sending ZMTP v2 or earlier headers.

Comment 1 Thomas Spura 2015-05-22 08:00:59 UTC
If I read the whiteboard correctly fedora-all/zeromq should be not affected by this attack, but in F22 and F23 it is as versions 4.0.5 are used there.

It is fixed in rawhide with:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=637994

and an update for F22 is on the way:

Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2015-05-22 11:00:24 UTC
I believe fedora was noted as not affected as no released version include affected 4.x version.

Comment 3 Fedora Update System 2015-05-30 15:41:46 UTC
zeromq-4.0.5-3.fc22 has been pushed to the Fedora 22 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 4 Siddharth Sharma 2015-07-06 10:45:01 UTC
ceph-1.2 ships zeromq-3.2.5 which is not affected by this flaw.
