Docker Engine before 18.09 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (dockerd memory consumption) via a large integer in a --cpuset-mems or --cpuset-cpus value, related to daemon/daemon_unix.go, pkg/parsers/parsers.go, and pkg/sysinfo/sysinfo.go.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
