[jira] [Created] (QPID-6217) Java broker should not accept HTTP TRACE requests

David Lovely created QPID-6217:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Java broker should not accept HTTP TRACE requests 
                 Key: QPID-6217
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-6217
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java Broker
    Affects Versions: 0.30
            Reporter: David Lovely
         Attachments: TRACE.patch

The QPID Java broker responds to HTTP TRACE requests with a response code of 200.  A common practice for better security is to return a 403 or 405 code for TRACE requests.  By default Jetty version 6.1 and greater disable this but the embedded Jetty server in the QPID broker is allowing TRACE requests to be processed. Attached is a patch that returns 403 when TRACE is used.  For example,

Current reponse from a TRACE command: 
curl -v -X TRACE localhost:8080
> TRACE / HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.13.6.0 zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2
> Host: localhost:8080
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID_8080=1uynrboshethkwzejaau1wq52;Path=/

< Content-Type: message/http

After the attached patch was applied:

curl -v -X TRACE localhost:8080
> TRACE / HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.13.6.0 zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2
