Summary

A vulnerability in Spring AMQP allows for the possibility of an Out-of-Memory (OOM) error when processing messages. This occurs in versions 2.2.0 through 2.2.19 and 2.3.0 through 2.3.11, where the 'toString()' method of the Spring AMQP Message object creates a new String object from the message body, without considering the size of the message. If a large message is processed, it can lead to excessive memory allocation and ultimately an OOM error, which may disrupt application performance and availability.

Affected Version(s)

Spring AMQP Spring AMQP versions 2.2.X prior to 2.2.20 and 2.3.x prior to 2.3.12 .
