CVE-2017-15098
Invalid json_populate_recordset or jsonb_populate_recordset function calls in PostgreSQL 10.x before 10.1, 9.6.x before 9.6.6, 9.5.x before 9.5.10, 9.4.x before 9.4.15, and 9.3.x before 9.3.20 can crash the server or disclose a few bytes of server memory.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
