CVE-2012-2145
Apache Qpid 0.17 and earlier does not properly restrict incoming client connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption) via a large number of incomplete connections.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
