CVE-2017-7619
In ImageMagick 7.0.4-9, an infinite loop can occur because of a floating-point rounding error in some of the color algorithms.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.45%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
