IrfanView version 4.44 (32bit) with FPX Plugin 4.45 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (Heap Corruption and application crash) in processing a FlashPix (.FPX) file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-7721.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.83%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
