Issue
- Java process memory consumption increasing at about 1G per day until killed by the Out Of Memory (OOM) killer.
- When not specifying the openssl provider (and using Java's JSSE one), the issue does not happen.
- The issue also does not happen on RHEL7.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6
- Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 7
- Mutual authentication using OpenSSL
- OpenSSL installed from the RHEL6 repository.
