QPID-8616 - [Broker-J] Privacy Violation: Heap Inspection in ManagedUser (#172)
> [Broker-J] Privacy Violation: Heap Inspection in ManagedUser
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: QPID-8616
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-8616
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Broker-J
> Affects Versions: qpid-java-broker-9.0.0
> Reporter: Daniil Kirilyuk
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: qpid-java-broker-9.0.1
>
>
> Sensitive data (such as passwords) stored in memory can be leaked if memory
> is not cleared after use. Often, Strings are used store sensitive data,
> however, since String objects are immutable, removing the value of a String
> from memory can only be done by the JVM garbage collector. The garbage
> collector is not required to run unless the JVM is low on memory, so there is
> no guarantee as to when garbage collection will take place. In the event of
> an application crash, a memory dump of the application might reveal sensitive
> data.
> Approach used in QPID-8583 should be applied to class ManagedUser.
