  • memory leak — (programming)   A leak in a program's dynamic store allocation logic that causes it to fail to reclaim memory in the heap after it has finished using it, eventually causing the program to fail due to lack of memory. These problems were severe on older machines with small, fixed-size address spaces, and special "leak detection" tools were written to diagnose them.

C2 requires individual log-on with password and an audit mechanism. (Most Unix implementations are roughly C1, and can be upgraded to about C2 without excessive pain).

B2 guarantees the path between the user and the security system and provides assurances that the system can be tested and clearances cannot be downgraded.
