Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.59%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

In nbd-server in nbd before 3.24, there is a stack-based buffer overflow. An attacker can cause a buffer overflow in the parsing of the name field by sending a crafted NBD_OPT_INFO or NBD_OPT_GO message with an large value as the length of the name.
