An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection. External leaks can help an attacker by revealing specific data about operating systems, full pathnames, the existence of usernames, or locations of configuration files, and are more serious than internal information leaks which are more difficult for an attacker to access.
