The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • netty: SniHandler 16MB allocation leads to OOM (CVE-2023-34462)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
