How to fix?

Upgrade org.jboss.xnio:xnio-api to version 3.8.14 or higher.

Overview

org.jboss.xnio:xnio-api is a simplified low-level I/O layer which can be used anywhere you are using NIO.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption due to the NotifierState function that can cause a Stack Overflow Exception when the chain of notifier states becomes problematically large, leading to a possible denial of service.
