Sources and claim methodology

Upstream source description

Micrometer-instrumented Apache HttpAsyncClient (4.x or 5.x) usage via MicrometerHttpClientInterceptor can leak memory unboundedly when asynchronous requests fail before receiving a response (e.g. connection resets or timeouts). Tracking state for these requests remains in memory indefinitely, and sustained failures lead to heap exhaustion and OutOfMemoryError crashes.
