CVE-2017-12762
In /drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_net.c: A user-controlled buffer is copied into a local buffer of constant size using strcpy without a length check which can cause a buffer overflow.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.23%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
