CVE-2017-14400
In ImageMagick 7.0.7-1 Q16, the PersistPixelCache function in magick/cache.c mishandles the pixel cache nexus, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference in the function GetVirtualPixels in MagickCore/cache.c)…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.16%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
