VCID-fcsz-ec5x-3kgc Aliases: CVE-2022-34917 GHSA-c9h3-c6qj-hh7q	Apache Kafka vulnerability can lead to brokers hitting OutOfMemoryException, causing Denial of Service A security vulnerability has been identified in Apache Kafka. It affects all releases since 2.8.0. The vulnerability allows malicious unauthenticated clients to allocate large amounts of memory on brokers. This can lead to brokers hitting OutOfMemoryException and causing denial of service. Example scenarios: - Kafka cluster without authentication: Any clients able to establish a network connection to a broker can trigger the issue. - Kafka cluster with SASL authentication: Any clients able to establish a network connection to a broker, without the need for valid SASL credentials, can trigger the issue. - Kafka cluster with TLS authentication: Only clients able to successfully authenticate via TLS can trigger the issue. We advise the users to upgrade the Kafka installations to one of the 3.2.3, 3.1.2, 3.0.2, 2.8.2 versions.	2.8.2 Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities. 3.0.2 Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities. 3.1.2 Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities. 3.2.3 Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.

Maven is changing the default behavior in 3.8.1+ to no longer follow http (non-SSL) repository references by default. More details available in the referenced urls. If you are currently using a repository manager to govern the repositories used by your builds, you are unaffected by the risks present in the legacy behavior, and are unaffected by this vulnerability and change to default behavior.
