CVE-2018-5473
An Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer issue was discovered in GE D60 Line Distance Relay devices running firmware Version 7.11 and prior.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.89%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
