CVE-2016-3993
Off-by-one error in the __imlib_MergeUpdate function in lib/updates.c in imlib2 before 1.4.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via crafted coordinates.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.53%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
