Well-crafted inputs reaching ParseAddress, ParseAddressList, and ParseDate were able to trigger excessive CPU exhaustion and memory allocations.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.78%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
