    Issue
    Impact The tokio-boring library in version 4.0.0 is affected by a memory leak issue that can lead to excessive resource consumption and potential DoS by resource exhaustion. The setexdata function used by the library did not deallocate memory used by pre-existing data in memory each time after completing a TLS connection causing the program to consume more resources with each new connection. Patches The issue is fixed in version 4.1.0 of tokio-boring. References CVE-2023-6180 at cve.org

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.1.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
