5.7MEDIUM
What is CVE-2017-13683?
A kernel memory leak was identified in Symantec Endpoint Encryption, specifically prior to version 11.1.3HF3. This vulnerability arises when the software fails to properly manage memory allocations. As a result, memory that is no longer in use is not released back to the system. This can lead to decreased performance, slower system responsiveness, and can potentially allow for enhanced attacks as memory becomes scarce.
