An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the Levin deserialization functionality of the Epee library, as used in Monero 'Lithium Luna' (v0.12.2.0-master-ffab6700) and other cryptocurrencies.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.69%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
