DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Apache Qpid, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to the application not verifying the
password or SASL credentials when joining a cluster using a
cluster-username, which can be exploited to gain unauthorised access
to the cluster via a malicious broker.

Successful exploitation requires the knowledge of a valid
cluster-username.

The security issue is reported in version 0.12. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the SVN repository.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported in a Red Hat bug report.
