Background ========== Openfire (formerly Wildfire) is a Java implementation of a complete Jabber server. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-im/openfire < 3.5.0 >= 3.5.0 Description =========== Openfire's connection manager in the file ConnectionManagerImpl.java cannot handle clients that fail to read messages, and has no limit on their session's send buffer. Impact ====== Remote authenticated attackers could trigger large outgoing queues without reading messages, causing a Denial of Service. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time.
