CVE-2009-1720
Multiple integer overflows in OpenEXR 1.2.2 and 1.6.1 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that trigger heap-based buffer overflows, related to (1)…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.44%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
