QID 997869: Java (Maven) Security Update for io.vertx:vertx-core (GHSA-5667-3wch-7q7w)

A vulnerability in the Eclipse Vert.x toolkit results in a memory leak due to using Netty FastThreadLocal data structures. Specifically, when the Vert.x HTTP client establishes connections to different hosts, triggering the memory leak. The leak can be accelerated with intimate runtime knowledge, allowing an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. For instance, a server accepting arbitrary internet addresses could serve as an attack vector by connecting to these addresses, thereby accelerating the memory leak.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.

CVSS V3 rated as High - 6.5 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5.4 severity.
