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.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

The versions of Primavera Unifier installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the January 2023 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Unifier product of Oracle Construction and Engineering (component: User     Interface (UnderscoreJS)). Supported versions that are affected are 18.8, 19.12, 20.12, 21.12 and 22.12.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to     compromise Primavera Unifier. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update,     insert or delete access to some of Primavera Unifier accessible data as well as unauthorized read access     to a subset of Primavera Unifier accessible data. (CVE-2021-23358)     
  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Unifier product of Oracle Construction and Engineering (component: Event     Streams and Communications (Apache Kafka)). Supported versions that are affected are 18.8, 19.12, 20.12,     21.12 and 22.12. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via     HTTP to compromise Primavera Unifier. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Primavera Unifier.
    (CVE-2022-34917)

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Unifier product of Oracle Construction and Engineering (component: Document     Management (jackson-databind)). Supported versions that are affected are 18.8, 19.12, 20.12, 21.12 and     22.12. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to     compromise Primavera Unifier. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the     attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or     frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Primavera Unifier. (CVE-2022-42003)
