CVE-2008-3639
Heap-based buffer overflow in the read_rle16 function in imagetops in CUPS before 1.3.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an SGI image with malformed Run Length Encoded (RLE) data containing a small image and a large row count.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.40%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
