常见后果
| 影响范围 | 影响 | 可能性 |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | DoS: Resource Consumption (Memory), DoS: Resource Consumption (Other) 注意： If an adversary can prevent a reference count from reaching zero, then resources might not be released when they are supposed to, thus causing resources to become scarce for future needs. | High |
| Availability | DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart 注意： If an adversary can cause a reference count to reach zero when the resource is still in use, then a resource might be released before it is supposed to be, possibly forcing an error that causes the product to crash or exit out of its current operation. | Low |

漏洞映射说明
依据 : This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.备注 : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
