Risk summary
Not in the CISA KEV catalog. EPSS exploit probability 26%. CVSS 6.5 (Medium).
This CVE is among the lower half of tracked Microsoft CVEs by EPSS exploit probability.
This is a heap-based overflow in libjpeg-turbo, an open-source image library, originally reported by Red Hat but tracked here because it also ships inside Windows Server 2022 23H2 Server Core, and it is classified as a remote code execution risk rather than the disclosure or denial of service bugs common elsewhere in this batch. A High 8.8 severity with a 26 percent EPSS score is a meaningful combination given the potential for code execution, and it is a reminder that Windows patch cycles also carry fixes for bundled third-party components. It is not confirmed exploited or tied to ransomware.
Do this: Patch Windows Server 2022 23H2 Server Core hosts for this CVE and check whether any other applications on the same servers bundle their own separate copy of libjpeg-turbo.
