Synopsis

Apache CXF is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

In versions of Apache CXF before 3.6.4 and 4.0.5 (3.5.x and lower versions are not impacted), a CXF HTTP client conduit may prevent HTTPClient instances from being garbage collected and it is possible that memory consumption will continue to increase, eventually causing the application to run out of memory Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
