CVE-2016-10066
Buffer overflow in the ReadVIFFImage function in coders/viff.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.4-5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.67%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
