CVE-2017-18272
In ImageMagick 7.0.7-16 Q16 x86_64 2017-12-25, there is a use-after-free in ReadOneMNGImage in coders/png.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted MNG image file that is mishandled in an MngInfoDiscardObject call.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
