Simply put, the CVE-2023-32784 vulnerability means that a KeePass master password might be recoverable from system data even after the KeyPass program has exited, because sufficient information about your password might get left behind in sytem swap or sleep files, where allocated system memory may end up saved for later. A long-term password leak in memory also means that the password could, in theory, be recovered from a memory dump of the KeyPass program, even if that dump was grabbed long after you'd typed the password in, and long after the KeePass itself had no more need to keep it around.
