CVE-2012-3534
GNU Gatekeeper before 3.1 does not limit the number of connections to the status port, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection and thread consumption) via a large number of connections.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.87%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
