CVE-2019-17264
In libyal liblnk before 20191006, liblnk_location_information_read_data in liblnk_location_information.c has a heap-based buffer over-read because an incorrect variable name is used for a certain offset.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
