CVE-2009-0148
Multiple buffer overflows in Cscope before 15.7a allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long strings in input such as (1) source-code tokens and (2) pathnames, related to integer overflows in some cases.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.77%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
