CVE-2016-10049
Buffer overflow in the ReadRLEImage function in coders/rle.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.4-4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or have other unspecified impact via a crafted RLE file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
