CVE-2017-14165
This may lead to remote denial of service in the MagickMalloc function in magick/memory.c.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.30%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The ReadSUNImage function in coders/sun.c in GraphicsMagick 1.3.26 has an issue where memory allocation is excessive because it depends only on a length field in a header. This may lead to remote denial of service in the MagickMalloc function in magick/memory.c.
