CVE-2017-11111
In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, preproc.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.74%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
