Description
During an SSL session, information about the session is stored in the global/inter-process SSL Session Cache, the OpenSSL internal memory cache and for sessions resumed by TLS session resumption (RFC 5077). This information must not be allowed to live forever, but expire and become invalid so that an attacker cannot hijack the session if not closed by the hosted application properly.
