How to fix?

There is no fixed version for org.lz4:lz4-java.

Overview

org.lz4:lz4-java is a Java port of the LZ4 compression algorithm and the xxHash hashing algorithm.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling through repeated allocation of large buffers in the LZ4FrameInputStream.readHeader process. An attacker can cause excessive CPU and garbage collection usage by providing specially crafted input consisting of many minimal empty frames, leading to significant resource consumption relative to the input size.
