CVE-2016-2094
The HTTPS NIO Connector allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (thread consumption) by opening a socket and not sending an SSL handshake, aka a read-timeout vulnerability.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.65%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
