CVE-2016-8678
The IsPixelMonochrome function in MagickCore/pixel-accessor.h in ImageMagick 7.0.3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via a crafted file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.61%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
