SCA: security update for io.vertx:vertx-core (GHSA-9ph3-v2vh-3qx7)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413397

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A vulnerability in the Eclipse Vert.x toolkit causes a memory leak in TCP servers configured with TLS and
 SNI support. When processing an unknown SNI server name assigned the default certificate instead of a
 mapped certificate, the SSL context is erroneously cached in the server name map, leading to memory
 exhaustion. This flaw allows attackers to send TLS client hello messages with fake server names,
 triggering a JVM out-of-memory error. (CVE-2024-1300)
