as referenced in the ALAS2TOMCAT9-2025-017 advisory.

    Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. Incorrect error handling for some invalid HTTP
    priority headers resulted in incomplete clean-up of the failed request which created a memory leak. A
    large number of such requests could trigger an OutOfMemoryException resulting in a denial of service.

    This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 9.0.76 through 9.0.102, from 10.1.10 through 10.1.39, from
    11.0.0-M2 through 11.0.5. (CVE-2025-31650)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
