CVE-2017-18198
print_iso9660_recurse in iso-info.c in GNU libcdio before 1.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted iso file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.35%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
