CVE-2014-2896
The DoAlert function in the (1) TLS and (2) DTLS implementations in wolfSSL CyaSSL before 2.9.4 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact and vectors, which trigger memory corruption or an out-of-bounds read.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.77%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
