NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream activemq package and not the activemq package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The LDAPLoginModule implementation in the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) in Apache ActiveMQ 5.x before 5.10.1 allows wildcard operators in usernames, which allows remote attackers to obtain credentials via a brute force attack. NOTE: this identifier was SPLIT from CVE-2014-3612 per ADT2 due to different vulnerability types.
