CVE-2020-10364
The SSH daemon on MikroTik routers through v6.44.3 could allow remote attackers to generate CPU activity, trigger refusal of new authorized connections, and cause a reboot via connect and write system calls, because of uncontrolled resource management.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.66%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
