CVE-2011-3231
The SSL implementation in Apple Safari before 5.1.1 on Mac OS X before 10.7 accesses uninitialized memory during the processing of X.509 certificates, which allows remote web servers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted certificate.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
