  "statement" : "This Moderate impact flaw in libsolv's Debian metadata parser can lead to a denial of service due to a stack-based buffer overflow. Exploitation requires a victim to process specially crafted, untrusted Debian repository metadata containing malicious SHA384 or SHA512 checksums. While memory corruption occurs, reliable system compromise has not been demonstrated, and the vulnerability is not typically exposed in default Red Hat product configurations.",
