Handling of the close_notify SSL/TLS message does not lead to a connection closure, leading the server to retain the socket opened and to have the client potentially receive clear text messages afterward.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
