CVE-2018-18409
A stack-based buffer over-read exists in setbit() at iptree.h of TCPFLOW 1.5.0, due to received incorrect values causing incorrect computation, leading to denial of service during an address_histogram call or a get_histogram call.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.30%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
