How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Echo:latest rabbitmq-java-client.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rabbitmq-java-client package and not the rabbitmq-java-client package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

The RabbitMQ Java client library allows Java and JVM-based applications to connect to and interact with RabbitMQ nodes. Prior to 5.36.0, ValueReader.readShortstr decodes malformed UTF-8 bytes into replacement characters that can re-encode beyond the AMQP shortstr limit enforced by ValueWriter.writeShortstr. An attacker who can submit an RPC message with a malformed echoed property can cause reply publication in RpcServer.mainloop() or tutorial-style consumers to throw an unchecked exception before acknowledgement. The broker requeues the message, allowing the same message to disable replacement consumers until the queue is purged. This issue is fixed in version 5.36.0.
