CVSS 3.0
8.1 highCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2016-5688
High (8.1). EPSS 4.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The WPG parser in ImageMagick before 6.9.4-4 and 7.x before 7.0.1-5, when a memory limit is set, allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to the SetImageExtent return-value check, which trigger (1) a heap-based buffer overflow in the SetPixelIndex function or an invalid write operation in the (2) ScaleCharToQuantum or (3) SetPixelIndex functions.
