CVE-2017-12471
The cnb_parse_lev function in CCN-lite before 2.00 allows context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging failure to check for out-of-bounds conditions, which triggers an invalid read in the hexdump function.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.78%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
