Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2017-14528 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The TIFFSetProfiles function in coders/tiff.c in ImageMagick 7.0.6 has incorrect expectations about whether LibTIFF TIFFGetField return values imply that data validation has occurred, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free after an invalid call to TIFFSetField, and application crash) via a crafted file.. EPSS estimates a 2.62% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
