CVE-2009-1352
Stack-based buffer overflow in Dawningsoft PowerCHM 5.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an HTML file with a link to a long URL, as demonstrated by a .rar URL.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.55%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
