Apache Kafka Denial of Service Vulnerability

Apache Kafka is an open source distributed streaming platform from the Apache Foundation in the United States. The platform is capable of capturing real-time data and is used to build applications that react in real-time to changes in the data stream. Apache Kafka suffers from a denial-of-service vulnerability that can be exploited by an attacker to allocate large amounts of memory on an agent and cause a denial-of-service situation.
