CVE-2009-1515
Heap-based buffer overflow in the cdf_read_sat function in src/cdf.c in Christos Zoulas file 5.00 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted compound document file, as demonstrated by a .msi, .doc, or .mpp file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.65%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
