Description
A flaw was found in ImageMagick, a free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. A remote attacker could exploit a heap over-read vulnerability in the MAT decoder due to incorrect parenthesization when using 32-bit arithmetic. This could lead to the disclosure of sensitive information and a denial of service (DoS) condition.
Statement
This MODERATE impact vulnerability in ImageMagick stems from a heap buffer over-read within the MAT image decoder due to incorrect 32-bit arithmetic. Red Hat products, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ELS and 7 ELS, are affected if ImageMagick is used to process specially crafted MAT image files. Exploitation requires processing a malicious MAT image.
