Symptoms

When loading SSL profiles, some of the large elements (certificates, CAs, and CRLs) are not shared among profiles, but instead, they are loaded per profile, causing inefficient memory increases.

Impact

The extra memory used cannot be used elsewhere, potentially decreasing the maximum number of concurrent SSL sessions.

Conditions

SSL profiles are used, especially with CRLs and (to a lesser extent) certificates and CAs.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

None
