CVE-2016-7536

18
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-7536 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in ImageMagick, specifically within the magick/profile.c component, which can be triggered by remote attackers providing a crafted image profile. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.5) requires user interaction (UI:R) and can lead to a segmentation fault, resulting in a complete loss of availability (A:H). While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, the flaw remains a potential risk for unpatched ImageMagick installations.
