CVE-2018-10360
The do_core_note function in readelf.c in libmagic.a in file 5.33 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted ELF file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.41%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
