CVE-2017-9142
In ImageMagick 7.0.5-7 Q16, a crafted file could trigger an assertion failure in the WriteBlob function in MagickCore/blob.c because of missing checks in the ReadOneJNGImage function in coders/png.c.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
