CVE-2019-15225
A remote attacker may send a request with a very long URI to result in a denial of service (memory consumption).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.42%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
