Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.89%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

All versions of Node.js 9.x and 10.x are vulnerable and the severity is HIGH. An attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by causing a node process which provides an http server supporting TLS server to crash. This can be accomplished by sending duplicate/unexpected messages during the handshake. This vulnerability has been addressed by updating the TLS implementation.
