How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.qpid:qpid-broker-plugins-amqp-1-0-protocol to version 10.1.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via unbounded symbol value caching in the AMQP 1.0 Symbol codec. An attacker can exhaust broker resources by sending pre-authentication AMQP 1.0 traffic that forces the codec to create and retain a large number of distinct symbol values. The vulnerable path is in the AMQP 1.0 protocol handling code under broker-plugins/amqp-1-0-protocol, where symbol decoding caches values during message and type parsing. Repeatedly supplying many unique symbols causes the cache to grow without limit, consuming memory until the broker slows down or becomes unavailable.
