CVE-2009-1364
Use-after-free vulnerability in the embedded GD library in libwmf 0.2.8.4 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted WMF file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.46%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
