--------------------------------------------------------------
That vulnerability is a glibc one, so I'm not sure why it's being reported as a
vulnerability in a Java library (unless I'm missing something - I'm not an
expert).
N.B. at about the same time that this issue was created, the CVE linked above
was updated to say that kafka 2.6.0 was vulnerable (& the CVE links to emails
generated off the back of updates to this Jira issue)
This is now causing any dependency-checker tools that use the NIST NVD
database to report Kafka 2.6.0 as vulnerable.
Could it be that what has caused this report is that a container scanner
'clair' has scanned a container made up of ['version of linux with a vulnerable
version of glibc' + 'some JVM' + 'kafka 2.6.0']?
