CVE-2020-24383
The code for processing resource records in mDNS queries doesn't check for proper '\0' termination of the resource record name string, leading to an out-of-bounds read, and potentially causing information leak or Denial-or-Service.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.85%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
