  ****************************************************************
  WebSphere Application Server does not properly handle an
  exception returned from the JDBC 4.1 connection abort method.
  This could lead to a leak of the connections to the database,
  where the connections are removed from the WebSphere
  Application Server connection pool but not closed.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was updated to properly handle an exception returned
  from a call to abort.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  WebSphere Application Server 9.0.5.0 and WebSphere Liberty
  fix pack 19.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended
