Hi Sergey, Hi Martijn,

Thanks for the information and suggestions. It is rational.

Since on one hand, we should not do the upgrade according to all your
thoughts, and on the other hand, Guava 30.1.1-jre has known CVEs[1] and the
next closest version that has no CVEs is 32.0.1-jre. Without the upgrade,
users might not be able to use Flink 1.17 in their production and Flink
1.18 has not been released yet. Do we have any known concept, rule, or
process in the community to handle such a common CVE issue?

Best regards,
Jing
