CVE-2017-5337
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the read_attribute function in GnuTLS before 3.3.26 and 3.5.x before 3.5.8 allow remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted OpenPGP certificate.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.18%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
