Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A heap overflow flaw was found in libpngs' pngimage.c program. This flaw allows an attacker with local network access to pass a specially crafted PNG file to the pngimage utility, causing an application to crash, leading to a denial of service.
