Summary
CometD is a scalable comet implementation for web messaging. In versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.22, 6.0.0 through 6.0.18, 7.0.0 through 7.0.18, and 8.0.0 through 8.0.8, bad clients that always send a fixed batch value when the server is using the acknowledgement extension may cause the unacknowledged message queue to grow indefinitely, eventually causing an `OutOfMemoryError`. Versions 5.0.23, 6.0.19, 7.0.19, and 8.0.9 patch the issue. As a workaround, disable the acknowledgement extension.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Added CPE configurations because not yet analyzed by NVD.
