  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of
    Oracle Java SE (component: Hotspot). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u401,
    8u401-perf, 11.0.22, 17.0.10, 21.0.2, 22; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.10, 21.0.2, 22; Oracle GraalVM
    Enterprise Edition: 20.3.13 and 21.3.9. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker
    with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle
    GraalVM Enterprise Edition. 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 for JDK, Oracle GraalVM
    Enterprise Edition. 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-2024-21011)

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