CVE-2018-12183
Stack overflow in DxeCore for EDK II may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege, information disclosure and/or denial of service via local access.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.50%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
