CVE-2013-1591 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Stack-based buffer overflow in libpixman, as used in Pale Moon before 15.4 and possibly other products, has unspecified impact and context-dependent attack vectors. NOTE: this issue might be resultant from an integer overflow in the fast_composite_scaled_bilinear function in pixman-inlines.h, which triggers an infinite loop.. EPSS estimates a 3.63% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
