CVE-2012-4895
Heap-based buffer overflow in SumatraPDF before 2.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF document, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-4896.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.19%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
