Executive Summary
The Flexera Inventory Agent for Unix-like platforms, versions 2023 R1 (20.1.0) and 2023 R2 (21.0.0), may encounter high memory usage due to an unexpectedly large file evidence cache. This issue has been addressed for the affected versions, and a hotfix has been released and is available for download through the PLC.
Cause
