    Release Notes Docs Status:   (was: Documented as Resolved Issue)
           Release Notes Text:   (was: * Cause
When a JGroups channel is started, the JGroups diagnostics service will be enabled by default with no authentication. This service is exposed via IP multicast.

* Consequence
An attacker on an adjacent network can exploit this flaw to read diagnostics information and invoke JMX operations on the server (limited remote code execution).

* Fix
The jgroups-diagnostics socket binding has been removed.

* Result
The JGroups diagnostics service is not exposed unless explicitly enabled.

> The JGroups diagnostics service should be disabled by default.
> This can be accomlished by removing the "diagnostics-socket-binding" attribute from the <transport> tags in the JGroups subsystem.
> This is a security issue, because the diagnostics port enables many security-sensitive operations, with no authentication, including:
> - full thread dump of the JVM
> - add/remove JGroups protocols
> - call any method on any JGroups protocol, passing in arbitrary arguments
