No solution or patch was made available for at least one year since disclosure of this vulnerability. Likely none will be provided anymore. General solution options are to upgrade to a newer release, disable respective features, remove the product or replace the product by another one.

The flaw is caused by hash functions based on the 'MurmurHash' algorithm, which is vulnerable to predictable hash collisions.
