description

Apache ZooKeeper through 3.9.6 is affected by improper exceptional-condition handling in its quota subsystem. An attacker able to write beneath the quota subtree can stop critical request processing and leave the server data directory unable to restart; default deployments may permit such writes without authentication.

mitigation

Upgrade ZooKeeper to 3.8.8 or 3.9.7. Restrict write access to the quota subtree, especially where default world-writable permissions are present.
