CVE-2018-18023
In ImageMagick 7.0.8-13 Q16, there is a heap-based buffer over-read in the SVGStripString function of coders/svg.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted SVG image file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.48%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
