Machine-written summary

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

Apache ActiveMQ Client, Broker and ActiveMQ before 5.19.4 and from 6.0.0 before 6.2.4 are affected. A client connecting over the NIO SSL transport can repeatedly trigger TLSv1.3 KeyUpdate handshakes, causing the broker to exhaust its memory in the SSL engine and denial of service. Upgrade to 6.2.4 or 5.19.4 or later; the source recommends 5.19.5.
