CVE-2006-4809

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.1)—
Stack-based buffer overflow in loader_pnm.c in imlib2 before 1.2.1, and possibly other versions, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNM image.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 5.1
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.46%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 91
Score date: 10/6/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
