CVE-2018-17187

Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.4)—

The Apache Qpid Proton-J transport includes an optional wrapper layer to perform TLS, enabled by use of the 'transport.ssl(...)' methods. Unless a verification mode was explicitly configured, client and server modes previously defaulted as documented to not verifying a peer certificate, with options to configure this explicitly or select a certificate verification mode with or without hostname verification being performed. The latter hostname verifying mode was not implemented in Apache Qpid Proton-J versions 0.3 to 0.29.0, with attempts to use it resulting in an exception.

Leer descripción completaMostrar menos

This left only the option to verify the certificate is trusted, leaving such a client vulnerable to Man In The Middle (MITM) attack. Uses of the Proton-J protocol engine which do not utilise the optional transport TLS wrapper are not impacted, e.g. usage within Qpid JMS. Uses of Proton-J utilising the optional transport TLS wrapper layer that wish to enable hostname verification must be upgraded to version 0.30.0 or later and utilise the VerifyMode#VERIFY_PEER_NAME configuration, which is now the default for client mode usage unless configured otherwise.

Los usos de Proton-J que empleen la capa wrapper opcional de transporte TLS que deseen habilitar la verificación de nombres de host deben actualizarse a la versión 0.30.0 o posteriores y emplear la configuración VerifyMode#VERIFY_PEER_NAME, que ahora es la predeterminada para el uso del modo cliente a no ser que se configure de otra forma."
