CVE-2011-0198
Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple Type Services (ATS) in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted embedded TrueType font.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.77%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
