"The version of Atlassian Confluence Server running on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability
as referenced in the CONFSERVER-99540 advisory.
- Netty, an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework, has a vulnerability starting in
version 4.1.91.Final and prior to version 4.1.118.Final. When a special crafted packet is received via
SslHandler it doesn't correctly handle validation of such a packet in all cases which can lead to a native
crash. Version 4.1.118.Final contains a patch. As workaround its possible to either disable the usage of
the native SSLEngine or change the code manually. (CVE-2025-24970)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
