"The version of aioHTTP installed on the remote host is prior to 3.10.11. It is, therefore, affected by a memory leak 
vulnerability. aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. In versions starting 
with 3.10.6 and prior to 3.10.11, a memory leak can occur when a request produces a MatchInfoError. This was caused by 
adding an entry to a cache on each request, due to the building of each MatchInfoError producing a unique cache entry. 
An attacker may be able to exhaust the memory resources of a server by sending a substantial number 
(100,000s to millions) of such requests. Those who use any middlewares with aiohttp.web should upgrade to version 
3.10.11 to receive a patch.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
