medium Nessus Plugin ID 49910

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 10 host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Incorrect use of an OpenSSL cleanup function can lead to memory leaks in applications. For example an SSL enabled web server such as Apache that uses PHP, curl and OpenSSL leaks memory if a SIGHUP signal was sent to Apache. The OpenSSL cleanup function was made more robust to avoid memory leaks. (CVE-2009-4355)
