CVE-2016-1000005
mcrypt_get_block_size did not enforce that the provided "module" parameter was a string, leading to type confusion if other types of data were passed in.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
