CVE-2017-20051 (GCVE-0-2017-20051)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5

** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: none. Reason: This candidate was withdrawn by its CNA. Further investigation showed that it was not a security issue. Notes: The sole source documents PE-format conformance defects in innosetup-5.5.9.exe with no exploit, attack path, or untrusted search path condition (CWE-426/427), and the author states Windows loads these files normally; the record's remote/exploited claims are unsupported, as is the product maintainer's contention.
