Ubuntu priority

Why this priority?

Double free vulnerability in the writeDataError function in the ElasticSearch plugin (omelasticsearch) in rsyslog before 7.4.2 and before 7.5.2 devel, when errorfile is set to local logging, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted JSON response.
