CVE-2019-7573
SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) through 1.2.15 and 2.x through 2.0.9 has a heap-based buffer over-read in InitMS_ADPCM in audio/SDL_wave.c (inside the wNumCoef loop).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.17%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
