CVE-2007-6468
Buffer overflow in the HuffDecode function in hw_utils/hwrcon/huffman.c and hexenworld/Client/huffman.c in Hammer of Thyrion 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted huffman encoded packet.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
