Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.50%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In Bitcoin Core before v0.13.0, a non-final alert is able to block the special "final alert" (which is supposed to override all other alerts) because operations occur in the wrong order. This behavior occurs in the remote network alert system (deprecated since Q1 2016). This affects other uses of the codebase, such as Bitcoin Knots before v0.13.0.knots20160814 and many altcoins.
