CVE-2016-10164
Last modified
CVE-2016-10164 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple integer overflows in libXpm before 3.5.12, when a program requests parsing XPM extensions on a 64-bit platform, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute arbitrary code via (1) the number of extensions or (2) their concatenated length in a crafted XPM file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 7.53% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
