What we know

No known exploitation. CISA KEV, checked 22:10 UTC.
No public exploit code known. Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, checked 21:18 UTC.
An attacker only needs network access to the target. No login needed. CVSS: network, no privileges.
It only works under certain conditions, which makes it harder to pull off. CVSS: high attack complexity.

Description

LibreSSL ocspcheck through 4.4.0 contains a CRLF injection vulnerability that allows attackers to inject HTTP headers by embedding CR/LF sequences in a certificate's AIA OCSP URI path. Because url2host() copies the path without rejecting control characters and http_open() places it in the POST request line, attackers can inject headers or split OCSP requests sent to the responder host.
