CVE-2018-9390

This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed.

MEDIUM 6.7EPSS 0.09%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.09%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In procfile_write of gl_proc.c, there is a possible out of bounds read of a function pointer due to an incorrect bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
