The bmp_load function in stb_image.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.57%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
