CVE-2022-34917

Описание

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.

A flaw was found in Apache Kafka that allows malicious unauthenticated clients to allocate large amounts of memory on brokers, which could lead to an Out Of Memory Exception, causing a denial of service. Various authentication methods were affected in different degrees. In Kafka clusters without authentication, any client able to connect to a broker could trigger the issue. In Kafka clusters with SASL authentication, any client able to connect to a broker without the need for valid SASL credentials could trigger the issue. Lastly, in Kafka clusters with TLS authentication, only clients able to successfully authenticate via TLS could trigger the issue.
