CVE-2017-9527
The mark_context_stack function in gc.c in mruby through 1.2.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based use-after-free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted .rb file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.97%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
