"The version of cmake / nghttp2 / nodejs / nodejs18 installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested
version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-35945 advisory.

  - Envoy is a cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy. Envoy's HTTP/2 codec May leak a header
    map and bookkeeping structures upon receiving `RST_STREAM` immediately followed by the `GOAWAY` frames
    from an upstream server. In nghttp2, cleanup of pending requests due to receipt of the `GOAWAY` frame
    skips de-allocation of the bookkeeping structure and pending compressed header. The error return [code
    path] is taken if connection is already marked for not sending more requests due to `GOAWAY` frame. The
    clean-up code is right after the return statement, causing memory leak. Denial of service through memory
    exhaustion. This vulnerability was patched in versions(s) 1.26.3, 1.25.8, 1.24.9, 1.23.11.
    (CVE-2023-35945)
