How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.kafka:kafka-clients to version 2.8.2, 3.0.2, 3.1.2, 3.2.3 or higher.

Amendment

This was deemed not a vulnerability.

Overview

org.apache.kafka:kafka-clients is a streaming platform that can publish and subscribe to streams of records, store streams of records in a fault-tolerant durable way, and process streams of records as they occur.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value which allows a malicious unauthenticated client to allocate large amounts of memory on brokers.

Note:

  1. This vulnerability was actually fixed in 3.2.2, but due to an unrelated major bug in this release, we recommend users upgrade to 3.2.3.
