CVE-2016-5842
MagickCore/property.c in ImageMagick before 7.0.2-1 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive memory information via vectors involving the q variable, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.46%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
