CVE does not support the concept of a different "instance" of an ID
number that has different affected versions. For the aspect of the
heap buffer overflow issue in MVG/SVG rendering that remained present
in the 1.3.24 release (and was not fixed until 1.3.25), use
CVE-2016-7446.

This should be considered a clarification to the following NEWS
excerpts:

   http://www.graphicsmagick.org/NEWS.html#may-30-2016
   1.3.24 (May 30, 2016)
   SVG: Fixed heap and stack buffer overflows, as well as segmentation
   violations (CVE-2016-2317 and CVE-2016-2318).

   1.3.25 (September 5, 2016)
   SVG/MVG: Fix another case of CVE-2016-2317 (heap buffer overflow)
   in the MVG rendering code (also impacts SVG).

Use CVE-2016-7447.

Use CVE-2016-7448.

Use CVE-2016-7449 for all of these reported TIFF problems. The
ultimate vulnerability was use of:

  strlcpy(attribute,text,Min(sizeof(attribute),(count+1)));

three times in coders/tiff.c, where strlcpy is not an appropriate
function choice for this type of scenario of untrusted-data copying.
