CVE-2021-38153: Timing Attack Vulnerability for Apache Kafka Connect and Clients

2021-09-21 Thread Randall Hauch
Severity: moderate Description: Some components in Apache Kafka use `Arrays.equals` to validate a password or key, which is vulnerable to timing attacks that make brute force attacks for such credentials more likely to be successful. Users should upgrade to 2.8.1 or higher, or 3.0.0 or higher
