CVE-2021-40732
XMP Toolkit version 2020.1 (and earlier) is affected by a null pointer dereference vulnerability that could result in leaking data from certain memory locations and causing a local denial of service in the context of the current user.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
