CVE-2015-7505
Stack-based buffer overflow in the gif_next_LZW function in libnsgif.c in Libnsgif 0.1.2 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted LZW stream in a GIF file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
