NVD Description

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

It was found that JGroups did not require necessary headers for encrypt and auth protocols from new nodes joining the cluster. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass security restrictions, and use this vulnerability to send and receive messages within the cluster, leading to information disclosure, message spoofing, or further possible attacks.
