Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in ImageMagick (Image Processing Software) (affected version not known) and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file coders/pcl.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

A vulnerability was found in ImageMagick, causing an outside the range of representable values of type 'unsigned long' at coders/pcl.c, when crafted or untrusted input is processed. This leads to a negative impact to application availability or other problems related to undefined behavior.
