CVE-2016-10128
Buffer overflow in the git_pkt_parse_line function in transports/smart_pkt.c in the Git Smart Protocol support in libgit2 before 0.24.6 and 0.25.x before 0.25.1 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted non-flush packet.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.96%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
