A memory leak happens when a program allocates some memory and do not release it totally. Each time the bugged program (or function) executes, memory is used and never released, as if your computer's memory "leaked" from the computer. It can lead to total memory exhaustion and eventually program and/or system crash.

Hope this helps !

P.S.: It seems to be a BUG in Oracle
