CVE-2017-18242
The apply_dependent_coupling function in libavcodec/aacdec.c in Libav 12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted aac file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
