Description
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. When the colormap has less than 256 valid values, the loop condition will continue to loop 256 times, attempting to pass invalid colormap data to the event logger, leading to an improper exit condition and an out-of-bounds read via heap-buffer-overflow. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
