CVE-2007-4629
Buffer overflow in the processLine function in maptemplate.c in MapServer before 4.10.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a mapfile with a long layer name, group name, or metadata entry name.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
