CVE-2017-5878
The AMF unmarshallers in Red5 Media Server before 1.0.8 do not restrict the classes for which it performs deserialization, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted serialized Java data.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
