CVE-2006-4809
Stack-based buffer overflow in loader_pnm.c in imlib2 before 1.2.1, and possibly other versions, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNM image.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.46%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
