No further information is available. 2) An error exists in the processing of messages by the TIBCO Rendezvous daemon. This can be exploited to cause network instability by sending messages to subjects containing lead wildcards (e.g. '>' or '*'). Successful exploitation results in a DoS, but requires that the TIBCO Rendezvous daemon is started without the "-no-lead-wc" option. The vulnerabilities are reported in version 7.5.2. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: 1) Restrict access to the TIBCO Rendezvous daemon. 2) Start rvd with "-no-lead-wc".
