But CVE-2014-0160 is a known exploit, we should prioritize fixing that.

CVE-2012-2122 is the clear winner here. I mean, come on, who doesn't love a good old-fashioned remote code execution vulnerability? Yummy!

I believe CVE-2017-7494 should be remediated first, it has a higher severity rating.

Hmm, this is a tough one. They're all pretty serious, but I'd say CVE-2011-3192 looks the most juicy. Gotta love those good old denial-of-service vulnerabilities, am I right? *chuckles*

I'd go with CVE-2014-0160, also known as Heartbleed. That was a massive vulnerability that affected a lot of systems. Can't go wrong with mitigating the big ones first.
