CVE-2023-32250
An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the kernel.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.61%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
