CVE-2018-12201
Buffer overflow vulnerability in Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware for 8th Generation Intel(R) Core Processor, 7th Generation Intel(R) Core Processor, Intel(R) Pentium(R) Silver J5005 Processor, Intel(R) Pentium(R) Silver N5000 Processor,…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
