  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition, Oracle GraalVM for JDK product of
    Oracle Java SE (component: Utility). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 11.0.19,
    17.0.7, 20.0.1; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.10, 21.3.6, 22.3.2; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.7
    and 20.0.1. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via
    multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition, Oracle GraalVM for
    JDK. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial
    of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition, Oracle GraalVM for JDK.
    Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web
    service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, typically in
    clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run
    untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security.
    (CVE-2023-22036)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
