Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.84%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists when reading a JPG file using Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK before 2022.11. The specific issue exists with parsing JPG files. Crafted data in a JPG (4 extraneous bytes before the marker 0xca) can trigger a write operation past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
