CVE-2019-9200
It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.47%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
