CVE-2005-1141 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Integer overflow in the readpgm function in pnm.c for GOCR 0.40, when using the netpbm library, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PNM file with large width and height values, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 3.38% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
