CVE-2024-36129
An unsafe decompression vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to crash the collector via excessive memory consumption.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.24%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
