CVE-2012-6501
The KillProcess method in the HP PKI ActiveX control (HPPKI.ocx) before 1.2.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kill process) via the partial or full name of a process.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.08%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
