Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.64%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

In all versions of libyang before 1.0-r5, a stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the way libyang parses YANG files with a leaf of type "bits". An application that uses libyang to parse untrusted YANG files may be vulnerable to this flaw, which would allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly gain code execution.
