What is CVE-2012-4458?

The AMQP type decoder in Apache Qpid 0.20 and earlier is susceptible to a denial of service attack. By sending a significant number of zero width elements in the client-properties map within a 'connection.start-ok' message, remote attackers can trigger excessive memory consumption, potentially leading to server crashes. This vulnerability poses serious operational risks for any deployment of affected versions of Apache Qpid.
