CVE-2018-10945
The mg_handle_cgi function in mongoose.c in Mongoose 6.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash, or NULL pointer dereference) via an HTTP request, related to the mbuf_insert function.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.36%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
