CVE-2017-0478
A remote code execution vulnerability in the Framesequence library could enable an attacker using a specially crafted file to execute arbitrary code in the context of an unprivileged process.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.84%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
