CVE-2021-45708
Because transmute operations are insufficiently constrained, there can be an information leak or ASLR bypass.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.00%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
