MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 1.24%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Salt masters prior to 3005.2 or 3006.2 contain a DOS in minion return. After receiving several bad packets on the request server equal to the number of worker threads, the master will become unresponsive to return requests until restarted.
