When a crafted PSD file, which claims a large \"extent\" field in the header but does not contain sufficient backing data, is provided, the loop over \"length\" would consume huge CPU resources, since there is no EOF check inside the loop.","published":"2017-09-07T06:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:05:43.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-834"],"affected":["imagemagick/imagemagick","canonical/ubuntu linux","debian/debian linux"],"epss":{"score":0.02191,"percentile":0.82345,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.19%).
