CVE-2016-4024
Integer overflow in imlib2 before 1.4.9 on 32-bit platforms allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via large dimensions in an image, which triggers an out-of-bounds heap memory write operation.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.50%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
