Hibernate Reactive Connection Leak Vulnerability Leading to Denial-of-Service

A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Hibernate Reactive. When an HTTP endpoint is exposed for database operations, a remote client can prematurely close the HTTP connection. This disconnection can cause database connections to leak from the connection pool, potentially exhausting available connections and leading to a denial-of-service condition.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability can cause a denial-of-service condition by leaking database connections, which can exhaust the connection pool and prevent other processes from accessing the database.
