CVE-2007-2055
AFFLIB 2.2.8 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters involving (1) certain command line parameters in tools/afconvert.cpp and (2) arguments to the get_parameter function in aimage/ident.cpp.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.23%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
