Vulnerability discussion

The qpidd service is automatically installed when the "base" package selection is selected during installation. The qpidd service listens for network connections which increases the attack surface of the system. If the system is not intended to receive AMQP traffic then the "qpidd" service is not needed and should be disabled or removed.

Check content

To check that the "qpidd" service is disabled in system boot configuration, run the following command: # chkconfig "qpidd" --list Output should indicate the "qpidd" service has either not been installed, or has been disabled at all runlevels, as shown in the example below: # chkconfig "qpidd" --list "qpidd" 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off Run the following command to verify "qpidd" is disabled through current runtime configuration: # service qpidd status If the service is disabled the command will return the following output: qpidd is stopped If the service is running, this is a finding.

Fix text

The "qpidd" service provides high speed, secure, guaranteed delivery services. It is an implementation of the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol. By default the qpidd service will bind to port 5672 and listen for connection attempts. The "qpidd" service can be disabled with the following commands: # chkconfig qpidd off # service qpidd stop

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
