How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.activemq:activemq-all to version 5.19.9, 6.2.8 or higher.

Overview

org.apache.activemq:activemq-all is a package that puts together an ActiveMQ jar bundle.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input in AmqpFrameParser and AmqpWireFormat in the AMQP NIO transport. An attacker can cause a denial of service by sending a malformed AMQP frame with a negative or otherwise invalid frame size value. The parser accepts the attacker-supplied size before allocating and reading the frame, and a remote unauthenticated peer that can reach an exposed AMQP NIO connector can trigger NIO thread failures by repeatedly sending such frames. If done rapidly enough, the NIO thread pool is exhausted and other connections lose service.
