How severe is CVE-2020-37065?

CVE-2020-37065 is rated High. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.

Is there a patch for CVE-2020-37065?

Not known from our data. No patch reference has been recorded for CVE-2020-37065, which is not the same as no patch existing — a fix may have shipped without a tagged reference, or after this record was written.
