Last modified
CVE-2020-12658 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. gssproxy (aka gss-proxy) before 0.8.3 does not unlock cond_mutex before pthread exit in gp_worker_main() in gp_workers.c. NOTE: An upstream comment states "We are already on a shutdown path when running the code in question, so a DoS there doesn't make any sense, and there has been no additional information provided us (as upstream) to indicate why this would be a problem.. EPSS estimates a 1.68% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
