HIGH 7.5EPSS 42.5%

Does this matter?

EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 42.5%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.

Description

Integer underflow in the EVP_DecodeUpdate function in crypto/evp/encode.c in the base64-decoding implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8za, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0m, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted base64 data that triggers a buffer overflow.
