Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in GraphicsMagick up to 7.0.3.2 (Image Processing Software). This affects the function AcquireMagickMemory of the file MagickCore/memory.c of the component Image Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The AcquireMagickMemory function in MagickCore/memory.c in GraphicsMagick before 7.0.3.3 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted image, which triggers a memory allocation failure.
