"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- nghttp2 is an implementation of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 2 in C. The nghttp2 library prior
to version 1.61.0 keeps reading the unbounded number of HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames even after a stream is
reset to keep HPACK context in sync. This causes excessive CPU usage to decode HPACK stream. nghttp2
v1.61.0 mitigates this vulnerability by limiting the number of CONTINUATION frames it accepts per stream.
There is no workaround for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-28182)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
