CVE-2016-7997
The WPG format reader in GraphicsMagick 1.3.25 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and crash) via vectors related to a ReferenceBlob and a NULL pointer.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.35%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
