What is CVE-2025-2240?

A vulnerability exists in Smallrye's fault tolerance component, where an out-of-memory issue can be triggered externally through calls to the metrics URI. Each request generates a new object in the meterMap, leading to excessive memory consumption and potentially resulting in a denial of service (DoS). Organizations utilizing this component should be aware of this risk and take steps to mitigate its impacts.
