Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.11%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description

When processing a large number of elements in a certificate, libtasn1 takes much longer than expected, which can slow down or even crash the system. This flaw allows an attacker to send a specially crafted certificate, causing a denial of service attack.
