CVE-2020-20950
The vulnerability can allow one to use Bleichenbacher's oracle attack to decrypt an encrypted ciphertext by making successive queries to the server using the vulnerable library, resulting in remote information disclosure.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.87%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
