CVE-2012-0553
Buffer overflow in yaSSL, as used in MySQL 5.1.x before 5.1.68 and 5.5.x before 5.5.28, has unspecified impact and attack vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-1492.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.60%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
