CVE-2007-4988 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Sign extension error in the ReadDIBImage function in ImageMagick before 6.3.5-9 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted width value in an image file, which triggers an integer overflow and a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 3.09% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
