Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The protostream package (Maven org.infinispan.protostream:protostream) is vulnerable in versions before 4.6.2.Final. It does not detect circular object references during unmarshalling. An authenticated attacker with sufficient permissions could insert a maliciously constructed object into the cache, causing out of memory errors and a denial of service. Upgrade to 4.6.2.Final or later.
