How do you think about a wording variant like the following?

  So the system will crash when this memory will be used again.

Another alternative:
  The resources which need to be cleaned up are not used any more.
  But the pointers of these resources may be changed in the
  function “crypto_finalize_skcipher_request”.
  Thus release specific resources before calling this function.
