CVE-2019-12822
In http.c in Embedthis GoAhead before 4.1.1 and 5.x before 5.0.1, a header parsing vulnerability causes a memory assertion, out-of-bounds memory reference, and potential DoS, as demonstrated by a colon on a line by itself.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.85%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
