Memory leak in libmcrypt before 2.5.5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a large number of requests to the application, which causes libmcrypt to dynamically load algorithms via libtool.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.54%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
