Last modified
CVE-2020-35492 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw was found in cairo's image-compositor.c in all versions prior to 1.17.4. This flaw allows an attacker who can provide a crafted input file to cairo's image-compositor (for example, by convincing a user to open a file in an application using cairo, or if an application uses cairo on untrusted input) to cause a stack buffer overflow -> out-of-bounds WRITE. EPSS estimates a 1.11% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
