CVE-2016-8684
The MagickMalloc function in magick/memory.c in GraphicsMagick 1.3.25 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted image, which triggers a memory allocation failure and a "file truncation error for corrupt file."
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.23%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
