CVE-2019-8379
It allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact when a victim opens a specially crafted file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.25%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description

It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to a binary. It allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact when a victim opens a specially crafted file.
