CVE-2013-3941 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Xjp2.dll in XnView before 2.13 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) the Csiz parameter in a SIZ marker, which triggers an incorrect memory allocation, or (2) the lqcd field in a QCD marker in a crafted JPEG2000 file, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 2.76% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
