<h2 id="description">Description</h2>
<p>Qpidd can be crashed by an authenticated user.</p>
<p>Certain unexpected protocol sequences cause the broker process to
crash due to insufficient checking. Three distinct cases were
identified as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The AMQP 0-10 protocol defines a sequence set containing id
ranges. The qpidd broker can be crashed by sending it a
sequence-set containing an invalid range, where the start of the
range is after the end. This condition causes an assertion, which
causes the broker process to exit.</p></li>
<li><p>The AMQP 0-10 protocol defines header- and body- segments that may
follow certain commands. The only command for which such segments
are expected by qpidd is the message-transfer command. If another
command is sent that includes header and/or body segments, this
will cause a segmentation fault in the broker process, causing it
then to exit.</p></li>
<li><p>The AMQP 0-10 protocol defines a session-gap control that can be
sent on any established session. The qpidd broker does not support
this control and responds with an appropriate error if requested on
an established session. However, if the control is sent before the
session is opened, the brokers handling causes an assertion which
results in the broker process exiting.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Authentication can be used to restrict access to the broker. However
any authenticated user would be able to trigger this condition which
could therefore be considered a form of denial of service.</p>
<h2 id="resolution">Resolution</h2>
<p>A patch is available (QPID-6310) that handles all these errors by
sending an exception control to the remote peer and leave the broker
available to all other users. The fix will be included in subsequent
releases, but can be applied to 0.30 if desired.</p>
