CVE-2017-16898
The printMP3Headers function in util/listmp3.c in libming v0.4.8 or earlier is vulnerable to a global buffer overflow, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-9264.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.81%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
