CVE-2016-5687

Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—

The VerticalFilter function in the DDS coder in ImageMagick before 6.9.4-3 and 7.x before 7.0.1-4 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted DDS file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).
