Additional information
NVDhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-3171
CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/789.html

A flaw was found in EAP-7 during deserialization of certain classes, which permits instantiation of HashMap and HashTable with no checks on resources consumed. This issue could allow an attacker to submit malicious requests using these classes, which could eventually exhaust the heap and result in a Denial of Service.

Weakness

The product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated.
