CVE-2014-9495
Heap-based buffer overflow in the png_combine_row function in libpng before 1.5.21 and 1.6.x before 1.6.16, when running on 64-bit systems, might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a "very wide interlaced" PNG image.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.05%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
