- Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ. During unmarshalling of
OpenWire commands the size value of buffers was not properly validated which could lead to excessive
memory allocation and be exploited to cause a denial of service (DoS) by depleting process memory, thereby
affecting applications and services that rely on the availability of the ActiveMQ broker when not using
mutual TLS connections. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: from 6.0.0 before 6.1.6, from 5.18.0 before
5.18.7, from 5.17.0 before 5.17.7, before 5.16.8. ActiveMQ 5.19.0 is not affected. Users are recommended
to upgrade to version 6.1.6+, 5.19.0+, 5.18.7+, 5.17.7, or 5.16.8 or which fixes the issue. Existing users
may implement mutual TLS to mitigate the risk on affected brokers. (CVE-2025-27533)
