Description
A flaw was found in ImageMagick, a free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. This heap buffer over-read vulnerability occurs when processing images where the -extract dimensions are larger than the -size dimensions, causing out-of-bounds memory reads from a heap-allocated buffer. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to potentially disclose sensitive information.
Statement
This MODERATE impact vulnerability in ImageMagick is due to a heap buffer over-read when processing images with -extract dimensions larger than -size dimensions. This flaw could lead to out-of-bounds memory reads from a heap-allocated buffer. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Community Projects are affected if ImageMagick is used to process untrusted image data with these specific parameters.
