Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libmcrypt versions prior to 2.5.5

Description The issue affects the libmcrypt package, potentially leading to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. Exploitation can occur remotely. A memory leak in libmcrypt allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a large number of requests, causing libmcrypt to dynamically load algorithms.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.5.5, update to version 2.5.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the application to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the vulnerable libmcrypt package until the issue is resolved.
