CVE-2006-0538
CipherTrust IronMail 5.0.1, when "Denial of Service Protection" is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (possibly CPU consumption) via a SYN flood with malformed TCP packets from multiple connections.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.09%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
