CVE-2009-1726
Heap-based buffer overflow in ColorSync in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5 before 10.5.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted image containing an embedded ColorSync profile.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.43%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
