CVE-2020-1921
In the crypt function, we attempt to null terminate a buffer using the size of the input salt without validating that the offset is within the buffer.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.21%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
