CVE-2018-14653
The Gluster file system through versions 4.1.4 and 3.12 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow in the '__server_getspec' function via the 'gf_getspec_req' RPC message.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.77%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
