CVE-2008-1672
OpenSSL 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a TLS handshake that omits the Server Key Exchange message and uses "particular cipher suites," which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.00%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
