CVE-2016-5009
The handle_command function in mon/Monitor.cc in Ceph allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and ceph monitor crash) via an (1) empty or (2) crafted prefix.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.48%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
