Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in the shell component of Zephyr allows a serial or telnet connected user to cause a crash, possibly with arbitrary code execution.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.57%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
