CVE-2017-16353

40
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-16353 is a memory information disclosure vulnerability in GraphicsMagick 1.3.26, specifically within the DescribeImage function, affecting Debian and GraphicsMagick products. This heap-based buffer over-read can be triggered by a specially crafted MIFF file, leading to the disclosure of IPTC Profile information. Rated Medium severity (CVSS 6.5), it requires user interaction (UI:R) but can be exploited remotely (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), potentially leading to high confidentiality impact (C:H). While not actively exploited in the wild (KEV: No) and lacking significant community discussion or media coverage, public exploit code (EDB-43111) is available, indicating a potential for future exploitation.
