CVE-2018-17910
The application fails to properly validate the length of user-supplied data, causing a buffer overflow condition that allows for arbitrary remote code execution.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.22%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
