CVE-2017-12142
In ytnef 1.9.2, an invalid memory read vulnerability was found in the function SwapDWord in ytnef.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.97%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
