CVE-2017-11449 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. coders/mpc.c in ImageMagick before 7.0.6-1 does not enable seekable streams and thus cannot validate blob sizes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an image received from stdin.. EPSS estimates a 3.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
