CVE-2018-17854
SIMDComp before 0.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) because it can read (and then discard) extra bytes.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.46%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
