CVE-2015-3258
Heap-based buffer overflow in the WriteProlog function in filter/texttopdf.c in texttopdf in cups-filters before 1.0.70 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a small line size in a print job.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.29%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
