CVE-2018-14337

The CHECK macro in mrbgems/mruby-sprintf/src/sprintf.c in mruby 1.4.1 contains a signed integer overflow, possibly leading to out-of-bounds memory access because the mrb_str_resize function in string.c does not check for a negative length.

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
