Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in ImageMagick up to 6.9.4-4/7.0.1-6 (Image Processing Software). This affects some unknown processing of the component DCM Reader. The manipulation of the argument pixel.red/pixel.green/pixel.blue with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The DCM reader in ImageMagick before 6.9.4-5 and 7.x before 7.0.1-7 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging lack of validation of (1) pixel.red, (2) pixel.green, and (3) pixel.blue.
