Descriptions
freeglut 3.4.0 was discovered to contain a memory leak via the menuEntry variable in the glutAddSubMenu function.
Se descubrió que mupdf v1.23.9 contenía una pérdida de memoria a través de la variable menuEntry en la función glutAddSubMenu.
A memory leak flaw was found in the glutAddSubMenu function of freeglut, an open-source alternative to the OpenGL Utility Toolkit. This flaw allows an attacker to launch a denial of service attack by crashing or hanging the program or taking advantage of other unexpected program behavior resulting from a low memory condition.
An update for freeglut is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Issues addressed include a memory leak vulnerability.
