CVE-2017-18219
An allocation failure vulnerability was found in the function ReadOnePNGImage in coders/png.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file that triggers an attempt at a large png_pixels array allocation.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.34%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
