Synopsis
Moderate: Red Hat Enterprise MRG Messaging and Grid Version 1.3
Type/Severity
Security Advisory: Moderate
Topic
Updated packages that fix two security issues, several bugs, and add
multiple enhancements are now available as part of the ongoing support and
maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise MRG Messaging and Grid for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,
which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability
from the CVE links in the References section.
Description
Red Hat Enterprise MRG (Messaging, Realtime, and Grid) is a realtime IT
infrastructure for enterprise computing. MRG Messaging uses Apache Qpid to
implement the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) standard, adding
persistence options, kernel optimizations, and operating system services.
This update moves Red Hat Enterprise MRG to version 1.3.
A flaw was found in the way Apache Qpid handled the receipt of invalid AMQP
data. A remote user could send invalid AMQP data to the server, causing it
to crash, resulting in the cluster shutting down. (CVE-2009-5005)
A flaw was found in the way Apache Qpid handled a request to redeclare an
existing exchange while adding a new alternate exchange. If a remote,
authenticated user issued such a request, the server would crash, resulting
in the cluster shutting down. (CVE-2009-5006)
This update also adds the following enhancements:
- This update introduces a protocol-independent C++ API. The extra layer of
indirection will make it easy to support new versions of the AMQP protocol,
as well as multiple versions simultaneously. (BZ#497747)
- The management component is now capable of working in a cluster.
(BZ#501015)
- The Messaging Client Python API is now protocol-independent. (BZ#497748)
- This update allows a JMS client to subscribe to the failover exchange to
retrieve cluster membership information and subsequently to receive
updates. (BZ#483753)
- With this update, the qpidd service can be run without additional
authentication options. (BZ#515513)
- This update adds an OpenMPI wrapper script to Condor. It adds support for
OpenMPI jobs. (BZ#537232)
- The Messaging Client Python API now provides a failover mechanism for
clustered brokers. (BZ#495718)
- The Python Messaging API now includes support for Simple Authentication
and Security Layer (SASL), which allows authentication support to be added
to connection-based protocols. (BZ#548493)
- The qpid-tool is now able to determine which session a queue consumer
belongs to. (BZ#504325)
- This update handles backward/forward compatibility for QMF and its
components. (BZ#506698)
- Both Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)
entries can now appear in the list of known URLs. (BZ#471632)
- This update allows for the scheduler daemon to run without swap.
(BZ#548090)
- This update introduces a mechanism that specifies the queue size of a
queue that is setup via the Java API. (BZ#534008)
- Previously, a collector could not be remotely restarted. With this
update, the restart is possible and works as expected. (BZ#543021)
- The usage information for the qpid-config utility (that is, the output of
the "qpid-config -h" command) has been updated to include a brief
explanation of the exchange type. (BZ#506420)
These updated packages include many other bug fixes and enhancements. Users
are directed to the Red Hat Enterprise MRG 1.3 Technical Notes for
information on these changes:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_MRG/1/html/Technical_Notes/index.html
All Red Hat Enterprise MRG users are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve these issues and add these enhancements, as well as
resolving the issues and adding the enhancements noted in the Red Hat
Enterprise MRG 1.3 Technical Notes. After installing the updated packages,
the qpidd service must be restarted ("service qpidd restart") for this
update to take effect.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
