The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 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.

  • io.vertx/vertx-core: memory leak due to the use of Netty FastThreadLocal data structures in Vertx (CVE-2024-1023)

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