CVE-2022-23913Network attack vector

Service interruption via unchecked XID length allocation

Published Feb 4, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Uncontrolled memory allocation in Apache Artemis before 2.19.1 allows remote attackers to interrupt broker availability via crafted XID packets. XidCodecSupport.decodeXid trusts attacker-supplied branch-qualifier and global-transaction identifier lengths and allocates byte arrays before validating them against readable buffer bytes. Network access to the broker's Core protocol is sufficient; a forged XA request can exhaust JVM memory and partially disrupt service.
