Netty WebSocket Client Memory Leak with SSL/TLS Fixed in 4.1.68.Final

The issue on GitHub discusses a problem with the Netty library, which is a popular networking framework for Java applications. The issue, identified as #12827, relates to a memory leak that occurs when using the WebSocket client with SSL/TLS encryption. The problem arises from the fact that Netty does not properly release the memory allocated for SSL/TLS sessions, leading to a gradual accumulation of memory over time. This can eventually cause out-of-memory errors and crashes in the application. The issue has been acknowledged by the Netty development team, and a fix has been released in version 4.1.68.Final of the library. Users are advised to upgrade to this version or later to avoid the memory leak problem.
