CVE-2017-12877
Use-after-free vulnerability in the DestroyImage function in image.c in ImageMagick before 7.0.6-6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
