Description

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

 - A vulnerability exists in Keycloak's server distribution where enabling debug mode (--debug <port>)
 insecurely defaults to binding the Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) port to all network interfaces
