CVE-2009-2850
Multiple buffer overflows in NASA Common Data Format (CDF) allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated using (1) an array index error in the ReadAEDRList64 function, and other errors in the (2) SearchForRecord_r_64, (3)…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.86%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
