CVE-2018-10873
A vulnerability was discovered in SPICE before version 0.14.1 where the generated code used for demarshalling messages lacked sufficient bounds checks.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.93%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
