Common Weakness Enumeration
- CWE-400 - Uncontrolled Resource ConsumptionThe software does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource, thereby enabling an actor to influence the amount of resources consumed, eventually leading to the exhaustion of available resources.
- CWE-401 - Missing Release of Memory after Effective LifetimeThe software does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
