No - the code-bases for Java and C++ are completely distinct, so it
normally makes no sense to talk about whether a CVE affects both products.
Each product should be tested separately for security issues.  Looking at
the details of the particular CVE you referenced, the Java code does not
use asserts, and invalid protocols sequences will generate exceptions which
will cause the Connection to be closed, but will not bring down the broker.

Rob,

Thank you for quick reply, do we have any doc which says java broker is
unaffected just in case if any one asks for any documents related to it?

As per my previous mail - no, that CVE is specific to the C++ broker. The
Java Broker is unaffected.
