CVE-2017-15692
In Apache Geode before v1.4.0, the TcpServer within the Geode locator opens a network port that deserializes data.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.78%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
