A user can create a durable subscription with a clientId and subscription name that have a combined length > 65,535 (while separately being shorter) on a broker using KahaDB which can cause the broker to shutdown and be unrecoverable.
This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: from 6.0.0 before 6.3.3, before 5.19.12; Apache ActiveMQ KahaDB: from 6.0.0 before 6.3.3, before 5.19.12.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.4.0, 6.3.3 or 5.19.12, which fixes the issue.
