CVE-2014-1947 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Stack-based buffer overflow in the WritePSDImage function in coders/psd.c in ImageMagick 6.5.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large number of layers in a PSD image, involving the L%02ld string, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-2030.. EPSS estimates a 6.85% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
