CVE-2015-2785
The GIF encoder in Byzanz allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap write and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Byzanz debug data recording (ByzanzRecording file) to the byzanz-playback command.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.83%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
