26
FAUCET Score

CVE-2015-8895 describes an integer overflow vulnerability in ImageMagick versions 6.9.1-3 and later, specifically within the coders/icon.c component. This flaw allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (application crash) by providing a crafted length value, which subsequently leads to a buffer overflow. Rated with a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity, requiring no user interaction or privileges, and its primary impact is system availability. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
