CVE-2018-10254
Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
