CVE-2016-9298
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—
Heap overflow in the WaveletDenoiseImage function in MagickCore/fx.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.6-4 and 7.x before 7.0.3-6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted image.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Base score: 5.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.90%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 79
- Score date: 10/9/2026
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).
