Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The org.jboss.xnio:xnio-api package is vulnerable in versions before 3.8.14.Final. A flaw in its NotifierState handling can cause a stack overflow when the chain of notifier states grows very large, leading to uncontrolled resource use and possible denial of service. The source gives few details about how an attacker triggers this. Upgrade to 3.8.14.Final, which is listed as the fixed version.
