High
7.5/10

Summary

A flaw was found in the quarkus-resteasy extension, which causes memory leaks when client requests with low timeouts are made. If a client request times out, a buffer is not released correctly, leading to increased memory usage and eventual application crash due to "OutOfMemoryError". The issue affects io.quarkus:quarkus-resteasy package versions 0.24.0 through 3.8.6, 3.9.0.CR1 through 3.15.3, and 3.16.0.CR1 through 3.19.0.

CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime (memory leak)

'Missing release of memory after effective lifetime (memory leak)' is a weakness that occurs when software doesn't effectively release allocated memory after it is used. If not addressed, this enables attackers to launch denial of service attacks (by crashing or hanging the program) or take advantage of other unexpected behavior resulting from low memory conditions.
