memory leak vulnerabilities
Memory leak vulnerabilities refer to a type of software flaw where a program fails to release memory resources properly after they are no longer needed, causing a gradual loss of available memory. This can lead to system slowdowns, instability, crashes, and potential security risks if attackers exploit the leaked memory to gain unauthorized access or manipulate system behavior.
