CVE-2014-9906
Use-after-free vulnerability in DBD::mysql before 4.029 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (program crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to a lost server connection.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.08%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
