CVE-2014-0242
mod_wsgi module before 3.4 for Apache, when used in embedded mode, might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via the Content-Type header which is generated from memory that may have been freed and then overwritten by a separate thread.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.53%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
