CVE-2017-14388
Cloud Foundry Foundation GrootFS release 0.3.x versions prior to 0.30.0 do not validate DiffIDs, allowing specially crafted images to poison the grootfs volume cache.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.73%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
