The DrawDashPolygon function in MagickCore/draw.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.4-0 and 7.x before 7.0.1-2 mishandles calculations of certain vertices integer data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-4562 is an ImageMagick flaw in polygon drawing logic. A maliciously crafted file could crash an application that processes it, causing service disruption. The sources also mention possible unspecified other impact, but do not provide enough detail to rate beyond disruption risk. Exposure is most likely where ImageMagick processes untrusted or user-supplied images, documents, uploads, email attachments, or conversion jobs. The bundle does not provide CPEs or downstream package mappings, so distribution-specific exposure requires local inventory. Treat this as a practical availability risk for services that process untrusted files. Prioritize internet-facing upload and conversion workflows first. There is no source-backed evidence of active exploitation in the provided bundle. Mitigation focus: Upgrade ImageMagick to 6.9.4-0, 7.0.1-2, or later supported releases.; Check operating system or vendor advisories for backported ImageMagick fixes.; Restrict untrusted file processing until vulnerable deployments are updated..
