CVE-2018-17075
The html package (aka x/net/html) before 2018-07-13 in Go mishandles "in frameset" insertion mode, leading to a "panic: runtime error" for html.Parse of <template><object>, <template><applet>, or <template><marquee>.
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.
