CVE-2015-2782
Buffer overflow in Open-source ARJ archiver 3.10.22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ARJ archive.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.85%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
