CVE-2004-0418
serve_notify in CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16, does not properly handle empty data lines, which may allow remote attackers to perform an "out-of-bounds" write for a single byte to execute arbitrary code or modify critical program…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.68%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
