CVE-2008-3608
ImageIO in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5 through 10.5.4 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted JPEG image with an embedded ICC profile.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.40%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
