CVE-2026-18212
NVD: A flaw was found in the SAML Redirect Binding implementation of Keycloak, an open-source identity and access management solution. NVD: The issue occurs because the custom DEFLATE compression and decompression helpers fail to release native zlib memory after use. NVD: An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending repeated malformed SAML requests, leading to native memory exhaustion and a denial of service.
