CVE-2017-5507
Memory leak in coders/mpc.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.7-4 and 7.x before 7.0.4-4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving a pixel cache.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.96%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
