Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.04%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Apache Nuttx Versions prior to 10.1.0 are vulnerable to integer wrap-around in functions malloc, realloc and memalign. This improper memory assignment can lead to arbitrary memory allocation, resulting in unexpected behavior such as a crash or a remote code injection/execution.
