The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2023-5850 advisory.

  • The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023. (CVE-2023-44487)

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