CVE-2002-0660

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—

Buffer overflow in libpng 1.0.12-3.woody.2 and libpng3 1.2.1-1.1.woody.2 on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0, and other operating systems, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-0728.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 7.5

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.98%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 87
Score date: 10/2/2026
