CVE-2006-5456

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.1)—
Multiple buffer overflows in GraphicsMagick before 1.1.7 and ImageMagick 6.0.7 allow user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a DCM image that is not properly handled by the ReadDCMImage function in coders/dcm.c, or (2) a PALM image that is not properly handled by the ReadPALMImage function in coders/palm.c.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 5.1
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.79%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 90
Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
