CVE-2019-3733

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.9)—

RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition, all versions prior to 4.1.4, is vulnerable to three (3) different Improper Clearing of Heap Memory Before Release vulnerability, also known as 'Heap Inspection vulnerability'. A malicious remote user could potentially exploit this vulnerability to extract information leaving data at risk of exposure.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
