CVE-2017-5896
Heap-based buffer overflow in the fz_subsample_pixmap function in fitz/pixmap.c in MuPDF 1.10a allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via a crafted image.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.75%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
