CVE-2016-8699
Heap-based buffer overflow in the bm_readbody_bmp function in bitmap_io.c in potrace before 1.13 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted BMP image, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-8698, CVE-2016-8700, CVE-2016-8701,…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.98%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
