CVE-2011-5268
connection.c in Bip before 0.8.9 does not properly close sockets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption and crash) via multiple failed SSL handshakes, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-4550.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.50%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
