CVE-2005-3278
Integer overflow in the openpsfile function in gsinterf.c for Jan Kybic BitMap Viewer (BMV) 1.2 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a PostScript (PS) file containing a large number of pages value, which leads to a resultant buffer overflow.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
