Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in ImageMagick 6.9.4-8 (Image Processing Software). Affected by this issue is the function ReadRLEImage of the file coders/rle.c of the component rle File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Heap-based buffer overflow in the ReadRLEImage function in coders/rle.c in ImageMagick 6.9.4-8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or other unspecified impact via a crafted RLE file.
