CVE-2019-13221
A stack buffer overflow in the compute_codewords function in stb_vorbis through 2019-03-04 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code by opening a crafted Ogg Vorbis file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.47%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
