CVE-2018-15607
Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In ImageMagick 7.0.8-11 Q16, a tiny input file 0x50 0x36 0x36 0x36 0x36 0x4c 0x36 0x38 0x36 0x36 0x36 0x36 0x36 0x36 0x1f 0x35 0x50 0x00 can result in a hang of several minutes during which CPU and memory resources are consumed until ultimately an attempted large memory allocation fails. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.
