Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.00%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

It was found that glusterfs server does not properly sanitize file paths in the "trusted.io-stats-dump" extended attribute which is used by the "debug/io-stats" translator. Attacker can use this flaw to create files and execute arbitrary code. To exploit this attacker would require sufficient access to modify the extended attributes of files on a gluster volume.
