CVE-2017-16013
This may cause hapi to crash or to hang the client connection until the timeout period is reached.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.56%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
