[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-14660) Divide by zero security vulnerability

Andy Coates created KAFKA-14660:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Divide by zero security vulnerability
                 Key: KAFKA-14660
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14660
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: streams
    Affects Versions: 3.3.2
            Reporter: Andy Coates


Looks like SonaType has picked up a "Divide by Zero" issue reported in a PR and, because the PR was never merged, is now reporting a it as a security vulnerability in the latest Kafka Streams library.

 

See:
 * [Vulnerability: sonatype-2019-0422]([https://ossindex.sonatype.org/vulnerability/sonatype-2019-0422?component-type=maven&component-name=org.apache.kafka%2Fkafka-streams&utm_source=ossindex-client&utm_medium=integration&utm_content=1.7.0)]

 * [Original PR](https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/7414)

 

While it looks from the comments made by [~mjsax] and [~bbejeck] that the divide-by-zero is not really an issue, the fact that its now being reported as a vulnerability is, especially with regulators.

PITA, but we should consider either getting this vulnerability removed (Google wasn't very helpful in providing info on how to do this), or fixed (Again, not sure how to tag the fix as fixing this issue).  One option may just be to reopen the PR and merge (and then fix forward by switching it to throw an exception).
