High (8.2) in zcashfoundation zebra. EPSS 0.3% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.

ZcashFoundation Zebra zebrad before 7.0.0 contains a reachable assertion race condition that allows unauthenticated remote peers to abort the node by triggering disconnection during a blocked outbound send. Malicious peers can return empty FindBlocks or FindHeaders replies and stop reading their socket, dropping an unresolved MustUseClientResponseSender and terminating syncing nodes.
