Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.75%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A flaw was found in libnbd. A server can reply with a block size larger than 2^63 (the NBD spec states the size is a 64-bit unsigned value). This issue could lead to an application crash or other unintended behavior for NBD clients that doesn't treat the return value of the nbd_get_size() function correctly.
