Package : activemq
Version : 5.14.3-3+deb9u1
CVE ID : CVE-2020-13920

Apache ActiveMQ, a Java message broker, uses
LocateRegistry.createRegistry() to create the JMX RMI registry and binds
the server to the "jmxrmi" entry. It is possible to connect to the
registry without authentication and call the rebind method to rebind
jmxrmi to something else. If an attacker creates another server to proxy
the original, and bound that, he effectively becomes a man in the middle
and is able to intercept the credentials when an user connects.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
5.14.3-3+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your activemq packages.
