CVE-2014-8628
Memory leak in PolarSSL before 1.2.12 and 1.3.x before 1.3.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of crafted X.509 certificates.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
