Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in ImageMagick (Image Processing Software) (the affected version unknown). This affects the function ReadDIBImage of the file coders/dib.c of the component dib File 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 availability. The summary by CVE is:

The ReadDIBImage function in coders/dib.c in ImageMagick allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a corrupted dib file.
