"The version of IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty running on the remote host is affected by a DoS vulnerability as
referenced in the 7181925 advisory.

  - Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable
    high performance protocol servers & clients. An unsafe reading of environment file could potentially cause
    a denial of service in Netty. When loaded on an Windows application, Netty attempts to load a file that
    does not exist. If an attacker creates such a large file, the Netty application crashes. This
    vulnerability is fixed in 4.1.115. (CVE-2024-47535)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
