NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qpid-cpp package and not the qpid-cpp package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The default configuration for Apache Qpid 0.20 and earlier, when the federation_tag attribute is enabled, accepts AMQP connections without checking the source user ID, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and have other unspecified impact via an AMQP request.
