CVE-2018-11729
The libfsntfs_mft_entry_read_header function in libfsntfs_mft_entry.c in libfsntfs through 2018-04-20 allows remote attackers to cause an information disclosure (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted ntfs file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.14%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
