Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an integer underflow in AMQP frame length computation in amqp_handle_input() when parsing an undersized AMQP frame. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted undersized AMQP frame to cause a denial of service.

User interaction is required for a victim application to connect to an attacker-controlled AMQP server.
