UnknownEPSS 3.15%
Last modified
CVE-2005-1142 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Heap-based buffer overflow in the readpgm function in pnm.c for GOCR 0.40, when it is not using netpbm, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a P3 format PNM file with more data than implied by its width and height values.. EPSS estimates a 3.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
