CVE-2017-12463
Memory leak in the ccnl_app_RX function in ccnl-uapi.c in CCN-lite before 2.00 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving an envelope_s structure pointer when the packet format is unknown.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.35%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
