CVE-2002-1363
Portable Network Graphics (PNG) library libpng 1.2.5 and earlier does not correctly calculate offsets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack on the row buffers.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.14%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
