Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.52%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

An exploitable integer overflow vulnerability exists when loading a PCX file in SDL2_image 2.0.4. A specially crafted file can cause an integer overflow, resulting in too little memory being allocated, which can lead to a buffer overflow and potential code execution. An attacker can provide a specially crafted image file to trigger this vulnerability.
