CVE-2017-13181
This could lead to an local elevation of privilege enabling code execution as a privileged process with no additional execution privileges needed.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.20%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
