CVE-2016-9598
libxml2, as used in Red Hat JBoss Core Services, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted XML document.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
