Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime in OPENSSL_LH_flush(). This function is used when decoding certificates or keys. If a long lived process periodically decodes certificates or keys its memory usage will expand without bounds and the process might be terminated by the operating system causing a denial of service.
