HIGH 7.5EPSS 0.90%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.90%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Many API function codes receive raw pointers remotely from the user and trust these pointers as valid in-bound memory regions. An attacker can manipulate API functions by writing arbitrary data into the resolved address of a raw pointer.
