Machine-written summary

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

Keycloak (the keycloak-quarkus-dist Maven package) versions before 26.0.16, from 26.1.0 before 26.2.10, and from 26.3.0 before 26.4.1 are vulnerable to denial of service. An unauthenticated remote attacker can repeatedly trigger TLS 1.2 client-initiated renegotiation to exhaust server CPU and make the service unavailable. Upgrade to 26.0.16, 26.2.10, or 26.4.1, or set the Java system property jdk.tls.rejectClientInitiatedRenegotiation to true in the startup configuration as an interim mitigation.
