Machine-written summary

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

The RabbitMQ Java client (com.rabbitmq:amqp-client) versions before 5.33.1 are vulnerable. A malicious AMQP server can declare an oversized string or bytes field length, causing the client to attempt a roughly 2 GB allocation before reading any data, which triggers an OutOfMemoryError that can crash the JVM (denial of service). The source says this is exploitable before authentication via the connection start server-properties table. Upgrade to version 5.33.1 or later.
