Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0138-01 – Fuse ESB Enterprise is an integration platform based on Apache ServiceMix. Fuse MQ Enterprise, based on Apache ActiveMQ, is a standards-compliant messaging system that is tailored for use in mission critical applications. This release of Fuse ESB Enterprise/MQ Enterprise 7.1.0 Patch 8 on Rollup Patch 1 is an update to Fuse ESB Enterprise 7.1.0 and Fuse MQ Enterprise 7.1.0. The following security issues are addressed with this release: It was found that if a configured LDAP server supported the unauthenticated authentication mechanism, the LDAPLoginModule implementation, provided by ActiveMQ Java Authentication and Authorization Service, would consider an authentication attempt to be successful for a valid user that provided an empty password. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass the authentication mechanism of an application using LDAPLoginModule, and assume a role of any valid user within that application.
