The product contains a method that accesses an object but does not later invoke the element's associated finalize/destructor method.
Description
This issue can make the product perform more slowly by retaining memory and/or other resources longer than necessary. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this performance problem might introduce a vulnerability.
