Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.67%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

When parsing a malformed JSON payload, libprocess in Apache Mesos versions 1.4.0 to 1.5.0 might crash due to an uncaught exception. Parsing chunked HTTP requests with trailers can lead to a libprocess crash too because of the mistakenly planted assertion. A malicious actor can therefore cause a denial of service of Mesos masters rendering the Mesos-controlled cluster inoperable.
