Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Keycloak's keycloak-ldap-federation package is affected in versions before 26.6.3. An attacker with high privileges, such as a realm administrator who configures a malicious LDAP server, or someone who has compromised an upstream LDAP server, can send a malformed LDAP password policy response during password authentication. This triggers an OutOfMemoryError that terminates the Keycloak JVM, causing a denial of service for all realms on the affected node. Upgrade to version 26.6.3.
