CVE-2019-8259
UltraVNC revision 1198 contains multiple memory leaks (CWE-655) in VNC client code, which allow an attacker to read stack memory and can be abused for information disclosure.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.01%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
