Imagemagick · Imagemagick · CVE-2018-8804
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ImageMagick version 7.0.7-25 Q16
**Description**
The issue is related to the `WriteEPTImage` function in the `coders/ept.c` component of ImageMagick, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to an application crash due to a double free error in `MagickCore/memory.c`. It may also have other unspecified impacts via a crafted file. Exploitation of this issue could allow a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise its integrity, and cause a denial of service using a specially crafted file.
**Recommendations**
For ImageMagick version 7.0.7-25 Q16, consider disabling the `WriteEPTImage` function in `coders/ept.c` as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially vulnerable files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
