Description Chess Hazlett 2022-09-26 22:11:01 UTC 
Apache Kafka allows malicious unauthenticated clients to allocate large amounts of memory on brokers, and could lead to OutOfMemoryException and causing denial of service. The following auth methods were affected:
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.
