CVE-2009-1788
Heap-based buffer overflow in voc_read_header in libsndfile 1.0.15 through 1.0.19, as used in Winamp 5.552 and possibly other media programs, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.23%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
