Ubuntu priority

Description

By default, curl automatically responds to WebSocket PING frames. Because curl lacks an upper bound on memory allocation for unacknowledged frames, a malicious server can exhaust all available memory by flooding curl with rapid, sequential PING messages.

Why is this CVE low priority?

Upstream defined this as low severity
