Apache Tomcat has encountered a memory leak issue that may result in denial of service. To ensure security compliance, please perform an immediate update.
Apache Tomcat, the servlet and JSP engine, did not properly release an HTTP upgrade connection for WebSocket connections once the WebSocket connection was closed

Summary

Apache Tomcat, the servlet and JSP engine, did not properly release an HTTP
upgrade connection for WebSocket connections once the WebSocket connection was
closed. This created a memory leak that, over time, could lead to a denial of
service via an OutOfMemoryError.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
version 9.0.43-2~deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat9 packages.
