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

  - Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to 4.1.137.Final and
    4.2.17.Final, the default io.netty.handler.ssl.SniHandler constructors use the pre-handshake ClientHello
    aggregation path in handler/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/ssl/SslClientHelloHandler.java at
    io.netty.handler.ssl.SslClientHelloHandler#decode, where handshakeBuffer.clear() and writeBytes() recopy
    all previously received body bytes for every additional TLS record. An unauthenticated remote peer can
    advertise a large ClientHello and deliver its body in thousands of tiny records, causing quadratic CPU
    work on the event loop before the TLS handshake completes and degrading TLS handling for other clients.
    This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.137.Final and 4.2.17.Final. (CVE-2026-75596)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
